Good job! This story seems nice but am not so die-hard lore fan to buy it XD

Well, thanks instead for a general idea of the book and the info you provided. Since you said it was rather disapointing, then I'll take it as background support rather than as a novel per se.

I thought it was really good.
I was only dissapointed at the fact that it didn't go further into Jim Raynor's life.
Like how he married a ghost and their child got killed or something, right?

Raynor married a colonist named Lidia and they had a son, Johnny. He had telepathic ability and was taken for "gifted education" by the Confederation. Jim had distrust of the Confederation but Lidia wanted Johnny to go and learn. A few months later they received a letter saying Johnny had died in a "shuttle accident," and Lidia blamed herself. She caught the flu and died from a combination of that and grief.

I will read it soon >;D

How Raynor became a marshal is briefly covered in Homecoming (a short story in Frontline Volume 4).

While I was hoping to see more detail about Raynor's between-the-wars exploits in Heaven's Devils, I think it was a very good book with intricate plotting. I've read several other Dietz books, and this is by far the best, even trying to take pro-StarCraft bias into account.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in SC1 didn't the Raynor family die from the Zerg? Isn't this contradicting.

What? No. Where the hell would you hear something like that?

[Hawki]

It's actually from Eye of the Storm:

"The zerg have taken everything away from me. My family, my friends..."

It may be a reference to John and Liddy, what with Raynor linking the zerg to the Ghost Program. Other than that, maybe Trace and Karol were killed during the Great War by the zerg. Maybe Shiloh was invaded.

[Nenol-phoenix]

What? No. Where the hell would you hear something like that?

From SC last mission briefing:
-Raynor-
“Well, I guess all I have left is to see this through, the Zerg have taken everything from me: my home, my family, my friends, I know that nothing I do can bring those things back, but I’ll be damned if I just sit on my hands and wait for the end. I want a piece of ‘em all right. I’m in”

Edit: -_- Hawki beat me to it
