Kurzbeschreibung
Four years after the end of the Brood War, Emperor Arcturus Mengsk has rebuilt much of the Terran Dominion and consolidated a new military force despite an ever-present alien threat. Within this boiling cauldron of strife and subversion, a young woman known only as Nova shows the potential to become Mengsk's most lethal and promising "Ghost" operative. Utilizing a combination of pure physical aptitude, innate psychic power, and advanced technology, Nova can strike anywhere with the utmost stealth. Like a phantom in the shadows, she exists only as a myth to the enemies of the Terran Dominion.
Yet Nova wasn't born a killer. She was once a privileged child of one of the Old Families of the Terran Confederacy, but her life changed forever when a rebel militia murdered her family. In her grief, Nova unleashed her devastating psychic powers, killing hundreds in a single, terrible moment. Now, on the run through the slums of Tarsonis, she is unable to trust anyone. Pursued by a special agent tasked with hunting down rogue telepaths, Nova must come to terms with both her burgeoning powers and her guilt -- before they consume her and destroy everything in her path....
Synopsis
It has been four years since the Brood War ended. The emperor has rebuilt much of his Terran Dominion and consolidated a new military force despite the ever-present alien threat. Within this boiling cauldron of strife and subversion, a young woman known only as Nova has the potential to become the Dominion's most lethal and promising "Ghost" operative. Utilizing a combination of physical aptitude, psychic power, and advanced technology, Nova can infiltrate any situation and strike without being seen or heard. And, like a phantom, she exists only as a myth to the enemies of the Dominion she serves.

Format:Taschenbuch
For starters, I have read all StarCraft novels up to this point, among them, Queen of Blades was by far the best. Now to this one.
In the prologue it starts off in the jungle world of Tyrador where Nova is seeking the 'murderer' of her family. After the prologue the book explains Nova's past and the 'how' of the murder and her affiliation to the ghost program.
The novel begins in her youth. At the same Arcturus Mengsk wants to take over the terran worlds and build up his Terran Dominion. Though this conquering is taking place during the whole story, you don't get much info about it. The main foucs is on the girl, her thoughts and the fight inside herself.
The first time Nova uses her psychic powers is, as her family is getting killed by one of their 'loyal' servants. She gets so furious that with only one thought ( though unintentional ) she kills everyone in the whole building and disappears afterwards into the Gutter, the part of Tarsonis where the poor and the criminals live. There another main character is introduced, he is called Fagin. Fagin is the ruler of the Gutter and so to speak the 'Lord' of everything there. It comes to his attention that there is a teep ( a person who is able to use his/her psychic powers ), in this case Nova, in his quarter of the city. He offers her a deal: working for him. As Nova refuses he lets her go, knowing she will return to him one day, but until then she is going to suffer he thinks.
During that time, a confederate special agent, Malcolm Kelerchian, starts the search for Nova, as his boss ordered him to find her and get her into the Ghost program.
The book continues with those two seperate storylines, until they cross themselves close to the end of the book. What happens in the Gutter after Nova refuses the offer and Kelerchian finally finds Nova...well I leave that up to you to read :)
Now for my personal commentary.
One of the positive sides of this novel is definately the description of the characters. You get to know everything about everyone, the fears, the hopes and the feelings. The characters seem almost as if they could exist in reality. Another pluspoint is the story, though it starts off a bit boring with that whole family stuff, it gets more and more interesting to the end, which is good.
Now to the negative sides. People who don't know much about slang words, including me , might find it difficult to follow the plot at certain times, because the people in the Gutter, like Fagin and his lieutenants, use that a lot. Besides I would have liked to read how Nova had been 'resocialized', how her feelings and thoughts developed during that phase, but alas it was not written down, which is a bit sad.
Concluding my opinion about this book, it is definately worth the money. Especially for those who are eager to get to know things about Nova and her past for the upcoming " StarCraft: Ghost " - game ... whenever it may come out though. In comparison to Queen of Blades I can say that this one comes close to it, but does not conquer the title " best SC novel " as the story does not get my attention from the start and the end is too much cut off.
Still, I am eagerly awaiting the next SC novel.

Mir hat das Buch sehr gut gefallen. Dies liegt vielleicht auch daran, dass es das Spiel zu dem Buch nicht gibt und ich damit auch nicht wusste was mich erwartet. Dies unterscheidet das Buch von den anderen Starcraft Büchern. Bei denen kennt man die Story von den Spielen ja schon in groben Zügen.
Das Buch ist in einfachem Englisch geschrieben, so dass normales Schulenglisch völlig ausreichend ist.

Das Buch handelt von der Entwicklung von November Terra, einer Tochter der alten Familien im Starcraft Universum, zur "Ghost"-Einheit "Nova". Leider auch nicht viel mehr. ;-) Dennoch ist der Charakter an sich meiner Meinung nach gut dargestellt, wenn auch eigtl. ein bisschen zu "stark", so dass Probleme für sie nie ein wirkliches Problem darstellen. Das Buch ist aber unterhaltsam geschrieben (hatte es in etwa einem Tag durch, wobei es nicht so fesselnd war dass ich nichts anderes hätte machen können wenn ich gewollt hätte ;)) und gibt nebenbei auch einen oberflächlichen Überblick über die Geschehnisse im Starcraft I Computerspiel. Im Vergleich zu den anderen Videospiel-Romanen die ich gelesen habe (Warcraft-Reihe) ist es ein ordentliches Werk, ich denke man kann von diesen Büchern einfach kein Literaturnobelpreisniveau erwarten, vor allem nicht auf ~350 Seiten.
Für Starcraft Fans denke ich ein unterhaltsames, wenn auch kein herausragendes Werk, für Leute die mit dem Spiel nichts am Hut haben evtl. nicht unbedingt lesenswert.
