Next month StarCraft II fans will be able to read the next hardcover novel based on Blizzard's sci-fi RTS sequel. The novel, StarCraft II: Devil's Due, is written by Christie Golden and is due for release on April 12.While the novel was first revealed a while ago, Amazon.com now has the book's cover image along with a short excerpt from the book. The books, like the first StarCraft II novel Heaven's Devils, tells another previously unrevealed tale of the game's two human heroes Jim Raynor and Tychus Findlay. Golden has previously written novels set in the StarCraft universe along with several World of Warcraft prose novels.


Oh thank God it's Christie Golden and not William C. Dietz. I haven't read Heaven's Devils, but if his adaptation of Halo was any indication...I don't even want to think about it. That book was a nightmare. Not saying that the Halo novels are high fiction, but reading The Fall of Reach and then reading The Flood is like having your nurse replace your IV with snake venom.Posted at 5:52PM on Mar 7th 2011 by Evadrion
