Kurzbeschreibung
An original tale of space warfare based on the bestselling computer game series from Blizzard Entertainment.
Driven by the living memories of a long-dead protoss mystic and hounded by the Queen of Blades' ravenous zerg, archaeologist Jake Ramsey embarks on a perilous journey to reach the fabled protoss homeworld of Aiur.
Seeking a vital piece of protoss technology, Jake finds that Aiur has been overrun by the zerg. Descending into the shadowy labyrinths beneath the planet's surface, he must find the sacred crystal before time runs out -- for him...and the universe itself.
Yet, what Jake discovers beneath Aiur is a horror beyond his wildest nightmares -- Ulrezaj -- an archon comprised of the seven most deadly and powerful dark templar in history....
Synopsis
Archaeologist Jacob Ramsey has spent much of the last two years on a miserable backwater planet wasting his time on a fruitless excavation. It seems like a miracle when he gets a message from Augustine Mengsk himself, son and heir of Emperor Arcturus Mengsk, inviting him to join an elite group of archaeologists being sent to excavate one of the Xel'Naga artefacts that are suddenly appearing on various worlds. When Jake stumbles across a dying Protoss and attempts to revive him, the Protoss psychically bonds to him and begins to violently "upload" its memories. In order to do this, the Protoss must in essence rewrite and rewire Jake's human brain. Jake soon realizes that the Protoss has shared with him a terrible secret - one so important that the dying alien was willing to pass it on to an enemy in order to insure that the knowledge survives. And what Jake decides to do with the information will seal the fate of worlds throughout the galaxy.

Finally, the second part of the Dark Templar Saga has arrived and it has - like the prequel book - an absolutely fantastic storyline.
Basically the story of book #2 is about the journey of Jake Ramsey and R.M. Dahl to the planet of Aiur and the events that happen on the devastated Protoss planet. You will get to know more about the protoss history and through this, meet some well known characters from the SC universe. While being on Aiur Jake and Rosemary meet a pack of protoss survivors and join up with them. Very important to note is that the events in this book happen 4 years AFTER the events in Brood War. So Aiur is overrun by the zerg and the rest of the protoss has fled to Shakuras long ago. Two third of the book describe the adventures of Jake and R.M. while the rest is seperated into the story from Valerian Mengsk's and Kerrigan's point of view.
Valerian is actively searching for Jake and tries everything within his power to find him and capture the archeologist - alive. He wants to learn everything that Jake has to offer.
Kerrigan wants to capture Jake aswell, but - of course - for other reasons. She wants to gain advantage from Jake's protoss memories within his brain - so to speak from Zamara - to bring a new power to her rule of the sector.
The story features a few trips into ancient Xel'Naga catacombs as well as some battles against small up to medium sized zerg forces. All of it described in detail and not less interesting to read. The story also develops Jake's feelings towards Rosemary a little deeper and I assume some more is to be content of the third book.
To conclude my summary:
I am still somewhat touched by those final moments at the end of the book, although I won't spoil anything here, I assume that the third part will probably feature some 'old' friends from the PC game as well, though this one here already featured one...or two...depending on what kind of knowledge you have about the SC universe.
These impressions are freshly written down, as I just finished the book and can't await #3 to be published. Also it will serve as a kind of good-to-know background story for the upcoming SC 2 game in late 2008 ( as it is set to be realeased - but who knows, it might be subject to change ).
What I can say however is, that I love this whole story. I read the book within two days. 60 pages on day one, the rest on day two and I don't regret spendin' the money. If you want some more SC stuff to read - here you go and take a deep breath before startin'...

A definite read for SC fans, even more for SC2 fans
27. November 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
Book Two explains even further the history of the Protoss, and brings forth the legacy of Adun (which Starcraft players will recognize from 'En Taro Adun'). While the author never fully explains where this 'Ulrezaj' comes from, the story makes up for it with a good storyline and a climatic battle in the end.
Also, for people who are looking forward to Starcraft II, this book would be a good read since it's starting to hint at possible connections to the upcoming game. For anyone who's seen the Terran singleplayer trailer for SC2, you'll remember Zeratul mentioning something about a secret that threatens the whole universe. In "Shadow Hunters", the preserver Zamara inside Jake Ramsey also mentions a secret that will threaten all existence. Connection? Maybe. The book also gives a lot of insight on the character of Valerian Mengsk (son of Arcturus Mengsk), who is supposed to play a pivotal role in SC2.

Necessary reading material for any anticipating SC2 fan!
1. August 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
What some fan's may not know is that these books are encompassing characters and an overall storyline that will be part of the upcoming sequel, Starcraft 2. This trilogy is a wonderful creation of cannon, produced by a true professional in the area of Science Fiction literature.
From start to finish, the author's main goal is to always ensure the reader is fully immersed in the environment to give a sense of actually being there with the characters. Due to the unique nature of what is being described in the book, it is necessary to not only display a proper mental image of the surroundings inside the story, but to also give deep insight into the emotional and psychological aspects of not only human but zerg and protoss characters as well.
Truly a wonderful book!
