Book Description
An original tale of space warfare based on the bestselling computer game series from Blizzard Entertainment.
Driven by the living memories of a long-dead protoss mystic and hounded by the Queen of Blades' ravenous zerg, archaeologist Jake Ramsey embarks on a perilous journey to reach the fabled protoss homeworld of Aiur.
Seeking a vital piece of protoss technology, Jake finds that Aiur has been overrun by the zerg. Descending into the shadowy labyrinths beneath the planet's surface, he must find the sacred crystal before time runs out -- for him...and the universe itself.
Yet, what Jake discovers beneath Aiur is a horror beyond his wildest nightmares -- Ulrezaj -- an archon comprised of the seven most deadly and powerful dark templar in history....

This review is from: Starcraft: Dark Templar--Shadow Hunters (Mass Market Paperback)
As a great follow up to the first novel, we continue the story of Jake and RM as they travel to the home of the protoss.I particularly liked this novel mostly because of the higher degree of interactions between the 2 characters. The return of another character is also culminating and quite reflects the nature of Starcraft: 3 factions battling for a common goal. The author is very good at depicting stories. I give it a 4 out of 5.

A definite read for SC fans, even more for SC2 fans,
By En Taro Tassadar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Starcraft: Dark Templar--Shadow Hunters (Mass Market Paperback)
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. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Necessary reading material for any anticipating SC2 fan!,
By L. Mahoney - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Starcraft: Dark Templar--Shadow Hunters (Mass Market Paperback)
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! |
