In the Ildiran Empire the Ildirans have to fight for survival against Rusa’h and the elemental power of the faeros. Also the humans are fighting with the Klikiss over the control of Klikiss splinter colonies and with their robots who want to wipe out all races in the spiral arm. But the overall conflict in the story is the power of good against evil to restore balance in the universe. The book was a great read and I would recommend it to anyone who has the time and desire to read an amazing book. All in all I would rate the book five stars out of five. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope that others who read it will have the same reactions that I did.
