StarCraft: I, Mengsk

De: Graham McNeill

Narrado por: Neil Kaplan

Sixty-thousand light-years from Earth, the corrupt Terran Confederacy holds the Koprulu sector tightly in its tyrannical grip, controlling every aspect of its citizens' lives. One man dares to stand up to this faceless empire and vows to bring it to its knees: Arcturus Mengsk - genius propagandist, tactician, and freedom fighter.

A monstrous act of bloody violence sows the seeds of rebellion in Arcturus, but he is not the first Mengsk to rail against such oppression. Before Arcturus grew to manhood, his father, Angus Mengsk, also defied the Confederacy and sought to end its brutal reign.

The destiny of the Mengsk family has long been tied to that of the Confederacy and the Koprulu sector, but as a new empire rises from the ashes of the past and alien invaders threaten the very existence of humanity, what will the future hold for the next generation?

The story of pre was Mensk.

Book filled in many gaps in the timeline and was excellent. A good look at the events leading up to the starcraft story.

Good

The only part that I dislike is the child voice acting. It literally made me cringe when hearing the "children's" voices

Awesome Stories

Loved the Mengsk family stories, though I always thought of Arcturus as evil, here you can ser he is just a man, goods and bads, and how he and is family became what they became. Amazing narrator also!

Writing

Child voice acting was hard to get thru in the opening chapters but thank god not too much more of it after that

decent book, great narration

i liked it though the narration really does save the lackluster writing. oh it Requires 15 characters. that is annoying

An excellent story.

This book captures the character of Megsk. It starts with his childhood and ends with him becoming emperor. It shows his abilities and his character flaws. The book is enjoyable and if you are a fan of starcraft, well worth your time.

great listening & listening, need more starcraft!!

I really enjoy this Starcraft book, need more starcraft books on audible. Can't wait for the next one.

amazing story

I could listen to Neil Kaplan read the F*ing menu at Dennys and be so happy, great voice work, amazing story, 👏 great all around!!

Good back story!

I really enjoyed this book. I'm one of the original StarCraft gamers that loved the first version of the game. This book was a well written back-story that brings true life to the Mengsk side of things. The narration was good however, some of the voices took some getting used to. But in the end, they worked.

Pre-game into

I like everyone else who has played the games hate Mengsk. But this book explains why he is the man we hate and at the same time giving you a understanding to why he did what he did. I still don’t like him, but I understand his motives even better now
