Frontline volume 4 info

[Kimera757]

Tokyopop put out new info on StarCraft: Frontline 4 today.

The new edition of StarCraft: Frontline Vol. 3 is coming out on July 14th just in time to appease all you StarCraft lovers while you wait for the Beta to start. You can see a preview of the new volume on our web site--just click here. The new volume features some of the new units exclusive to StarCraft 2, such as reapers and twilight archons. StarCraft: Frontline Vol.3 also has the next chapter in the story of young Colin Phash, which continues in StarCraft: Frontline Volume 4, and culminates in our new series StarCraft: Ghost Academy, which will be released January 2010.

Seems the Colin Phash stories will link to StarCraft: Ghost. We'd been told Keith DeCandido might be writing one or two SC:G-linked stories in Frontline. (There's only been one Phash story so far, and it was not written by DeCandido.)

Also keep your eyes peeled for StarCraft: Frontline Vol.4 (hitting shelves September 9, 2009), which features an exclusive Jim Raynor back story written by Blizzard Entertainment's Senior Vice President and head of Creative Development, Chris Metzen. That story leads directly into the new game StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty. The book will also feature stories about a reaper squad, dark templar and the ghost academy. Look below as well for is a sneak peek at part of the cover for StarCraft: Frontline Vol. 4.

Also ... reaper squad! And, of course, Jim Raynor relevance.

StarCraft: Frontline Vol.3 also has the next chapter in the story of young Colin Phash, which continues in StarCraft: Frontline Volume 4, and culminates in our new series StarCraft: Ghost Academy, which will be released January 2010.

So the young Colin could/will become one of the most potential Terran Dominion or Umojan Protectorate's Ghost? (Future SC ghost hero.) Hopefully he join the Umojan Protectorate Ghost Program, love to see my question come to function at last.

I saw some of the tryout pics for one of the artists in vol. 4, and it's pretty good (better than any of the previous volumes, imo).

Looking forward to this.

After the lore about the Reapers added on sc2.com the idea of a story about a squad is just too awesome.

The Ghost Academy likely has some good insight, and will be an interesting read, as with the DT story - especially since I picked up Twilight today, and am getting back into the DT's mythology.

And last but not least, it'll be awesome to see a story about Raynor - especially one that ties directly into SC2.

Speaking of which - has anyone heard about the novel "Heaven's Devils" by William C. Dietz? It's advertised in the back of Twilight, and has the picture of the group of them with the circle around Raynor with "Jim Raynor - our most famous patron" (I believe it's shown in the opening bar video with Tychus). EDIT - found the image

I can't shake the feeling that female medic the right is Liddy Raynor. I Wouldn't be surprise if Jim compare Liddy to Ariel Hanson in SC2.
