Product Description
As the release nears for Blizzard Entertainment’s long-anticipated StarCraft II computer game, the epic Dark Templar trilogy reaches an explosive climax.
After the seeming defeat of the dark archon Ulrezaj on the protoss homeworld of Aiur, Jake and Rosemary become separated as they flee through the newly repaired warp gate. Rosemary finds herself with the other refugee protoss on Shakuras, while Jake is catapulted elsewhere. But Jake does not have long to live: their enemies are regrouping, and Zamara’s essence must be separated from Jake’s mind before time runs out.

Satisfactory conclusion to trilogy.,
By
This review is from: StarCraft: Dark Templar--Twilight (Mass Market Paperback)
While the book was enjoyable and revealed an exciting twist to the Starcraft universe (that has been confirmed as part of Starcraft cannon), I can only say this was a satisfactory conclusion to the build-up created in the preceding title of the trilogy. The previous book really built up momentum for an epic finish in this title, but it appeared to run out of ideas and merely copy a number of successes from the second book. I felt it could have done a lot more, but overall I did enjoy the book. Three stars.

Well worth the read for any sci-fi fan,
By Jae Yu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: StarCraft: Dark Templar--Twilight (Mass Market Paperback)
A great story set in the Starcraft universe. An easy stand-alone even for those unfamiliar with the Starcraft universe and a must for those who are. Easily one of the better works among Blizzard's adapted novels.
Allowing Golden to write the whole series pays off nicely for Blizzard here as it clearly shows in the quality of the story. The series is well-paced, has plenty of action, and incorporates Starcraft lore in a very clean fashion. The necessary and pre-existing Starcraft lore doesn't feels forced and the new lore is introduced in a very neat flow. The action is detailed fairly well and is relatively creative. Compared to Blizzard's other adapted novels, this series is extremely well written and easily one of their best. Although the conclusion was not quite as spectacular as I had hoped, it was not a bad way to end the story. However, given that the story is supposed to lead into the Starcraft II game's story, I can see how this ending makes sense. There's still plenty of action and story development and the inclusion of some major characters gives the story a nice spark. I have to admit that I liked the first and second books more but I still found this book to be a great read. It's hard to not finish a series like this though so I feel that both fans and newcomers to the Starcraft universe will enjoy this conclusion to the series. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Decent ending, but should have been made into 4 or more books,
By Adam Chen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: StarCraft: Dark Templar--Twilight (Mass Market Paperback)
This third installment feels like it closed without having any real outcome (no winners, losers, or interesting endings). I was a bit dissapointed in the second book also for being too vague about why the Protoss would worship Ulrezaj and expected this third book to explain it further.
I would have liked more backstory the way the first book (Firstborn) did it. The history of the Protoss was such a good idea in the first book, then petered out in the second, then was totally unimportant in the third book. Overall, I would recommend the first book in this series. Then, if you're still interested, you can read books 2 and 3.

star craft series,
By W. Adam Morgan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: StarCraft: Dark Templar--Twilight (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read all of the star craft books and I enjoyed the Templar saga. This is a nice addition with a few references to the other books, but a good read.
