A definite read for SC fans, even more for SC2 fans [Posted on 2007-11-27]
Book Two explains even further the history of the Protoss, and brings forth the legacy of Adun (which Starcraft players will recognize from 'En Taro Adun'). While the author never fully explains where this 'Ulrezaj' comes from, the story makes up for it with a good storyline and a climatic battle in the end.
Also, for people who are looking forward to Starcraft II, this book would be a good read since it's starting to hint at possible connections to the upcoming game. For anyone who's seen the Terran singleplayer trailer for SC2, you'll remember Zeratul mentioning something about a secret that threatens the whole universe. In "Shadow Hunters", the preserver Zamara inside Jake Ramsey also mentions a secret that will threaten all existence. Connection? Maybe. The book also gives a lot of insight on the character of Valerian Mengsk (son of Arcturus Mengsk), who is supposed to play a pivotal role in SC2.
Necessary reading material for any anticipating SC2 fan! [Posted on 2008-08-01]
What some fan's may not know is that these books are encompassing characters and an overall storyline that will be part of the upcoming sequel, Starcraft 2. This trilogy is a wonderful creation of cannon, produced by a true professional in the area of Science Fiction literature.
From start to finish, the author's main goal is to always ensure the reader is fully immersed in the environment to give a sense of actually being there with the characters. Due to the unique nature of what is being described in the book, it is necessary to not only display a proper mental image of the surroundings inside the story, but to also give deep insight into the emotional and psychological aspects of not only human but zerg and protoss characters as well.
Truly a wonderful book!
