Starcraft: Twilight (The Dark Templar Saga, Book 3)

A great story set in the Starcraft universe. An easy stand-alone even for those unfamiliar with the Starcraft universe and a must for those who are. Easily one of the better works among Blizzard's adapted novels.

Allowing Golden to write the whole series pays off nicely for Blizzard here as it clearly shows in the quality of the story. The series is well-paced, has plenty of action, and incorporates Starcraft lore in a very clean fashion. The necessary and pre-existing Starcraft lore doesn't feels forced and the new lore is introduced in a very neat flow. The action is detailed fairly well and is relatively creative. Compared to Blizzard's other adapted novels, this series is extremely well written and easily one of their best.

Although the conclusion was not quite as spectacular as I had hoped, it was not a bad way to end the story. However, given that the story is supposed to lead into the Starcraft II game's story, I can see how this ending makes sense...Read more

This third installment feels like it closed without having any real outcome (no winners, losers, or interesting endings). I was a bit dissapointed in the second book also for being too vague about why the Protoss would worship Ulrezaj and expected this third book to explain it further.

I would have liked more backstory the way the first book (Firstborn) did it. The history of the Protoss was such a good idea in the first book, then petered out in the second, then was totally unimportant in the third book.

Overall, I would recommend the first book in this series. Then, if you're still interested, you can read books 2 and 3.

I have read all of the star craft books and I enjoyed the Templar saga. This is a nice addition with a few references to the other books, but a good read.
