StarCraft: Flashpoint

De: Christie Golden

Narrado por: Christie Golden

The explosive novel based on the eagerly anticipated StarCraft II video game expansion, Heart of the Swarm!

The sinister zerg leader no longer commands her legions of bloodthirsty aliens against the humans of the Koprulu sector, all thanks to the combined courage and tenacity of Jim Raynor, General Horace Warfield, and a mismatched team of Dominion soldiers and outlaw rebels.

Although the queen is no more, Sarah Kerrigan is very much alive. The woman who once controlled countless alien minds in a rampage across the stars has been spirited away by the man who dethroned her. Now Arcturus Mengsk’s Dominion armada is on her heels, roaring for blood. Jim Raynor will need to test his strength, his wit, and his loyalties against impossible odds to protect the woman he loves.

StarCraft II: Flashpoint bridges the events that take place in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and the upcoming StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. Featuring never-before-seen glimpses into Jim Raynor and Sarah Kerrigan’s past, this novel opens a window into a world of passion, action, and adventure.

A great way extend a universe

The emotions of the writing and The best thing about this is that it is careful with lore.

great connector

Christie is a great author and growing to be an acceptable narrator.

the story connects Wings of Liberty with Heart of the Swarm and does so wonderfully...
listening to this made me want to go back and play both of those campaigns again

two reviews on book

First let's say that Christie Golden did a great job on writing this novel. Not only that but she referenced alot of the previously established books namely Heavens Devils and Liberty Crusade into this work. That all being said this audio book is held back from being better because of Christie Golden.

This was not a great performance is what I've been telling myself since the book first started. From Christie reading a pause and then pausing to not being able to distinguish the characters apart from eachother much is left desired in the performance. The biggest thing is the tone that Christie Brings to the characters in the book. The tone and depth is just off and lacking. Especially coming off of listening to the Audio books from both Heaven's Devils and Liberty 's Crusade just prior to this.
