Book Overview

As the release nears for Blizzard Entertainment's long-anticipated StarCraft II computer game, the epic Dark Templar trilogy reaches an explosive climax. After the seeming defeat of the dark archon Ulrezaj on the protoss homeworld of Aiur, Jake and Rosemary become separated as they flee through the newly repaired warp gate. Rosemary finds herself with the other refugee protoss on Shakuras, while Jake is catapulted elsewhere. But Jake does not have...

Fantastic

Very well written book. I have enjoyed the three books in this series that tells you everything you wanted to know about the Protoss' origins and how they evolved to become what we know about them in the two games.

Well worth the read for any sci-fi fan

A great story set in the Starcraft universe. An easy stand-alone even for those unfamiliar with the Starcraft universe and a must for those who are. Easily one of the better works among Blizzard's adapted novels. Allowing Golden to write the whole series pays off nicely for Blizzard here as it clearly shows in the quality of the story. The series is well-paced, has plenty of action, and incorporates Starcraft lore in a very clean fashion. The necessary and pre-existing Starcraft lore doesn't feels forced and the new lore is introduced in a very neat flow. The action is detailed fairly well and is relatively creative. Compared to Blizzard's other adapted novels, this series is extremely well written and easily one of their best. Although the conclusion was not quite as spectacular as I had hoped, it was not a bad way to end the story. However, given that the story is supposed to lead into the Starcraft II game's story, I can see how this ending makes sense. There's still plenty of action and story development and the inclusion of some major characters gives the story a nice spark. I have to admit that I liked the first and second books more but I still found this book to be a great read. It's hard to not finish a series like this though so I feel that both fans and newcomers to the Starcraft universe will enjoy this conclusion to the series.

Decent ending, but should have been made into 4 or more books

This third installment feels like it closed without having any real outcome (no winners, losers, or interesting endings). I was a bit dissapointed in the second book also for being too vague about why the Protoss would worship Ulrezaj and expected this third book to explain it further. I would have liked more backstory the way the first book (Firstborn) did it. The history of the Protoss was such a good idea in the first book, then petered out in the second, then was totally unimportant in the third book. Overall, I would recommend the first book in this series. Then, if you're still interested, you can read books 2 and 3.

Good Ending, could have been better

I really enjoyed the first two books in the Dark Templar Saga. The third and final book is a fun read... It didn't give me the closure I really wanted. I highly recommend it though, It offers more insight into the Starcraft universe, gives more personality to "Zeratul" from the game and is set in places I think are very imaginative (hope we get the chance to explore them in Starcraft 2).

quite good

this book is very enjoyable and solves the problems created in the previous books quite well, and ends nicely enough. i think the prior books might have been better in a slight way, but this book remains very good and much necessary if you read the first two of the series.
