About this audiobook

An action-packed novel that ushers in a new age of adventure in the critically acclaimed StarCraft series from Blizzard Entertainment

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Thrawn pens the latest chapter in the stunning StarCraft saga, building on the game’s rich legacy to create an unforgettable new story.

After nearly a decade of brutal warfare, three mighty factions—the enigmatic protoss, the savage zerg, and the terrans, humanity’s descendants in the sector—have entered a cease-fire, but the peace is tenuous at best. When the sudden restoration of an incinerated planet is brought to light, tensions erupt. Neutrality swings back to hostility, and old enemies are accused of developing biological weapons to reignite the bitter conflict.

An expedition of terran and protoss soldiers and researchers is deployed to investigate the mysterious zerg planet and its inhabitants’ intentions. But the lush alien landscape is host to other denizens, creatures shrouded in shadow, and should they be unleashed, they will change the fate of the entire galaxy.

Ratings and reviews

I am huge StarCraft fan and since blizzard is not expanding the story any time soon with StarCraft III, StarCraft Ghost or adding additinal chapters to the single player campaign, I turned to the book to keep me entertained. This is the first StarCraft book I listened to and I enjoyed it. Keeps to the lore and would definitely listen to another audiobook from Timothy Zahn.

Excellent narration. Interesting story.
