Starcraft: Queen of Blades
By Aaron Rosenberg

Plot Summery:
This novel is set during Episode 2 to and partly through 3 of the Starcraft campaigns. It’s written in a third person point of view following the Terran hero, James Raynor. Queen of Blades will help fans further understand the relationship Raynor had with the honourable Protoss and his undying love for Sarah Kerrigan. Filling plot holes such as how Raynor acquired Arcturus Mengsk’s Battle Cruiser, the Hyperion, and how Tassadar gained the powers of the Dark Templar.

Synopsis:
After breaking away from Mengsk’s corrupt Terran Dominion, Jim Raynor now commands his own small rebel group. With no sense of direction or motives, Raynor and his followers were doing not much more than drifting in deep space.

These nightmares… Each time Raynor fell victim to sleep, he found himself in a reoccurring nightmare that grows in intensity each time. He begins to suspect that they may not be mere figments of his imagination, but a desperate cry for help… Kerrigan?

And so Raynor decides to chase his nightmares, which leads him to the volcanic world of Char, with hopes that the fiery beauty is still alive.

Literature:
Queen of Blades is truly well written, almost like a work of art. Rosenberg has definitely interrupted the Starcraft story and characters splendidly and the descriptive notions he has used makes every piece of this book seem like poetry.

Rating:
Great book and highly recommended to anyone interested in deepening their understanding or the Starcraft universe, or just needs a means of pacifying their lust for Starcraft 2.
