New novel: Devils' Due

[//MavericK\\]

Glad their gonna keep this Raynor story line going...I'd like them to maybe do a total of three novels and have the last one lead right up and maybe just a little ways into the SCI story line. Really tie everything together.

Man this is going to be awesome. I'm hoping for some throw back to the old Devil members. Hell Kid is still alive anyways. I'd like to see a little side bit on him. Book is so far away though, hard to get excited about it.

This was the premise of my story for the short story contest. (The first one) =D

i don't know why i bought all three DT books....but they were bad. none of the characters especially jake ramsey really interested me...i mostly flipped through the pages hoping i'd see the interesting characters like valerian or mengsk show up


best starcraft books were

Speed of Darkness: Tracy hickman

Mengsk, I: Graham McNeill

Heaven's Devils: William C. Dietz

Are you serious? The three DT books were the best ever depiction of Protoss History ever written. Props to Christie Golden for writing such an emotionally charged series.

Lol! I cried when Zamara was about to be placed in eternal struggle with Ulrezaj! The connection to each character was created so beautifully that in the end you could feel every emotion felt by the characters.

I don't know how you can say this series was bad, unless you don't value emotional attachment in characters, and don't want to bring yourself to understand what is there.

Speed of Darkness on the other hand, I don't see how anyone can like that book. It was just pages & pages of a Marine losing his mind + boring battles. Nothing remotely noteworthy happened in that book. :$

Let's be realistic here. Creating 'emotional attachment' isn't that difficult, especially if you've had 3 books to do it. The DT saga is filled with generic, borderline Mary Sue characters (Jake, R.M., I'm looking at you), predictable plot points, missed opportunities (meet Ethan Stewart, the lamest infested Terran ever to have lived -- and that list includes Stukov), and generally "O.K." writing.

The only redeeming thing about it is the way it sheds light on Protoss culture through Zamara's flashbacks. It's a very convenient way to learn about a lot of the mysteries surrounding the race that would have been difficult to address on an individual basis. She did OK by Valerian, but that came at the high price of making Mengsk look even less magnificent than Brood War suggested, so I can't give her too much credit.

Let's be realistic here.

It was way better written (even from the first book alone) than Speed of Darkness.

Wouldn't know, haven't read it.

From the sound of it, I imagine that as far as actual literature goes, Speed of Darkness wins out, and as far as SC literature goes, DT Saga wins out.

Well I, Mengsk or Heavens Devils both beat Speed of Darkness in terms of actual literature. <_<
