StarCraft: The Dark Templar Saga, Book 1

By: Christie Golden

Narrated by: Christie Golden

Jake Ramsey - an unassuming yet talented archaeologist - has been given the chance of a lifetime. Hired to investigate a recently unearthed Xel'Naga temple, he knows this latest assignment will open up whole new possibilities for his career. Yet when Jake discovers the remains of a long-dead protoss mystic, his hopes and dreams are irrevocably drowned in a flood of alien memories. Bonded to the spirit of the dead protoss, Jake has become the sole inheritor of the protoss' total history - every event, every thought - every feeling.

Good premise and characters. Excellent book

Good premise and characters. Excellent undertone message. Take a chance and listen to it all the way through

The best! I can't wait for the next one!

This is one of the most engrossing stories I've listened to in a long time.

I was so disappointed when it ended! To me that is the best indication of how much it held my attention.

If you love StarCraft, you'll love this book.

Wow.

This one catches you by surprise. Definitely recommend for fans of StarCraft and SciFi in general.

Solid

As a new fan to the game and a protoss player, I wanted to have more story to experience. this was different than I was expecting, but was still very good.

great listening, can't wait for the next book!

Great listening, can't wait for the next book in this wonderful series. Need more Starcraft!!!!

Good, But...

I like it, but the VA should really add that reverb, echo effect when she does the voices of Protoss characters.

nice enough starcraft story

Not ultra dark, just the normal amount. Although it was a little long for the amount of actual content in it, you shouldn't notice it to badly after the first quarter.
The audio is serviceable. A female narrators this novel, and it's hard for her men to not come across as pussies because of that. But she tries her best, and it's not too noticeable because the main male character is a bit of a a pussy.
The architect named Jake is likeable enough, even if he has limiting morals.
I wish we could have gotten more of Mr. V, but I might be able to find more of him in the next edition.
Zimara is perfectly serviceable.
Trouble is the star of this story tho. a ruthless merc type who is forced to help, in order to keep her mental health safe.

Hard to stop.

Loved every moment of it and the character progression was wonderful, as well as the efficient switch between them.

somewhat confusing

a good story even if I had a hard time keeping up with what was happening...
great lore about the world though, you should grab it just for that if you like StarCraft

Christie is a great author...
not so much narrator...
doesn't get in the way of the book, but doesn't help it either

Great story, ok audio

Very much enjoyed the story. Christie does an excellent job with the StarCraft universe. The reading audio was a bit rough in some places, but not to the point it was not enjoyable. Definitely worth it if you like science fiction and/or StarCraft.
