Product Description
Sixty-thousand light-years from Earth, the corrupt Terran Confederacy holds the Koprulu sector tightly in its tyrannical grip, controlling every aspect of its citizens' lives. One man dares to stand up to this faceless empire and vows to bring it to its knees: Arcturus Mengsk -- genius propagandist, tactician, and freedom fighter.
A monstrous act of bloody violence sows the seeds of rebellion in Arcturus, but he is not the first Mengsk to rail against such oppression. Before Arcturus grew to manhood, his father, Angus Mengsk, also defied the Confederacy and sought to end its brutal reign.
The destiny of the Mengsk family has long been tied to that of the Confederacy and the Koprulu sector, but as a new empire rises from the ashes of the past and alien invaders threaten the very existence of humanity, what will the future hold for the next generation...?

Awesome!,
This review is from: Starcraft: I, Mengsk (Mass Market Paperback)
I put this book on the top 2 of Starcraft novels, along with Heaven's Devils.The book is divided in parts: Arcturus' youth, his enlistment, his job as a prospector, Valerian, the Sons of Korhal. It is filled with action from A to Z. You get to see people from the game: Duke, Samir Duran. You get to understand what made Arcturus became who he was in the game: egocentric, manipulative, ruthless. I went trough his book in just a few days. Enjoy!

Another Billiard book that doesn't disappoint,
By General Pete - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Starcraft: I, Mengsk (Mass Market Paperback)
I continue to be amazed at the quality of the Starcraft/Warcraft novel adaptations even after all of these years.Most of the story is quick and very energetic a new story isn't really told but some important background information is filled in and various new secondary characters are introduced. Of these characters I am most impressed with Angus Mengsk father of Arcturus and grandfather of Valerian. However as with all "lets find in the background" books there are several problems that I have with the story specifically in the rather convenient way that Arcturus shifts gears from confederation marine to prospector to revolutionary. All Starcraft fans know that those shifts had to be made for the sake of the overall storyline but you have to suspend your disbelief for much of it. Overall-Solid, does what it sets out to do.

Great for lore lovers.,
By Fel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Starcraft: I, Mengsk (Mass Market Paperback)
I love to learn about Starcraft lore..and by far out of the books I read this one is the best and a good place to start in the series. First of all, it's all about why Arcturus Mengst is the way he is and his history and such. It's VERY well written, beautifully even. With a style that kept me hooked enough to sit there for 4 hours straight reading until it was done. If you can't appreciate great imagery and complex character development then stick to a manga or something.
