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.

A few months before StarCraft II was released, a tie-in novel, StarCraft II Heaven's Devils, was released. Now it looks like yet another hardcover novel based on Blizzard' sci-fi RTS sequel might be released in 2011. Amazon.com has a pre-order listing on its site for a novel called StarCraft II: Devil's Due.

The listing shows the author's name to be Christie Golden who already has written a number of novels based on Blizzard's game properties including two previous StarCraft paperback novels. The listing shows a release date of April 12, 2011 for StarCraft II: Devil's Due. It also says the novel "reveals the exploits that shaped the game's heroes, Tychus Findlay and Jim Raynor." We have emailed Ms Golden to get a confirmation or denial on this listing.
