Product Description:
Far in the future, 60,000 light-years from Earth, a loose confederacy of Terran exiles are locked in battle with the enigmatic Protoss and the ruthless Zerg Swarm. Each species struggles to ensure its own survival among the stars in a war that will herald the beginning of mankind's greatest chapter -- or foretell its violent, bloody end.
Bhekar Ro: a bleak, backwater world on the fringe of the Terran Dominion, where every day is a struggle to survive for its handful of human colonists. It is a veritable wasteland -- one speck of dust among many in the vast, dark sea of space. But when the most violent storm in recent memory unearths an unfathomable alien artifact, Bhekar Ro becomes the greatest prize in the Terran Sector -- the Holy Grail of the Zerg, the Protoss, and Humanity alike -- as forces from the three great powers converge to claim the lost secrets of the most powerful species the universe has ever known.

This book is as bad as Stacraft can get in a written form.
There is not much I can add to the other reviews here, however, I can only support their claims.
This book is just written in such a way that discards anything remotely accurate about Stacraft. The whole 'epic' feeling about the three races fighting each other fails in such a way that makes me feel bad, and all I did was read the book--Seriously, there's only one interesting thing about this book, and it's the 'new alien ...

Now, I will say that I agree that this book does NOT follow the lore of Starcraft well. I noticed this within the first few chapters. So I pretty much pretended I knew nothing of all the lore of Starcraft. Most people seem to REALLY WANT it to be strict on this, and I think that hurts any enjoyment that can be had from this. Most reviewers seem almost emotionally hurt that it wasn't all that they wanted.
Now as for the book itself. It was pretty much average in every way. It had ... Read More

The second book of the 'StarCraft' series is different from the first one.
It isn't as linear as 'Liberty's Crusade' and doesn't try to squeeze its story somewhere in the original game plot as the first book did unsuccessfully and irritatingly even.
Some parts of 'Shadow of Xel'naga' are really not bad and entertaining but I found two annoying flaws.
The first one is that the book very often tends to repeat itself. The chapters are very short and feature lots ... Read More

I've read the first and second (this) StarCraft novels and I wish Blizzard would stop hiring lousy writers, as they do such good stories for the games that it's a great pity to waste the novels. Granted, I don't like Kevin J. Anderson ("Gabriel Mesta") anyway, but I didn't know it was his pseudonym at the time I read this book. It's even worse than his Young Jedi Knights stuff.

A number of other reviewers seemed rather worried about how this book explored a plot that wasn't part of the game. That didn't bother me much, whilst I shouldn't have minded if it had done so the original content was appreciated.
However, most of the battle sequences, which make up a fair amount of the book, are incredably dull to read. The most interesting battle scene was the villagers Vs the Zerg, although completly unrealistic it used a variety of people with interesting and new ... Read More
