StarCraft: Evolution

A StarCraft Novel

By: Timothy Zahn

Narrated by: Christopher Ryan Grant

An action-packed novel that ushers in a new age of adventure in the critically acclaimed StarCraft series from Blizzard Entertainment

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Thrawn pens the latest chapter in the stunning StarCraft saga, building on the game’s rich legacy to create an unforgettable new story.

After nearly a decade of brutal warfare, three mighty factions—the enigmatic protoss, the savage zerg, and the terrans, humanity’s descendants in the sector—have entered a cease-fire, but the peace is tenuous at best. When the sudden restoration of an incinerated planet is brought to light, tensions erupt. Neutrality swings back to hostility, and old enemies are accused of developing biological weapons to reignite the bitter conflict.

An expedition of terran and protoss soldiers and researchers is deployed to investigate the mysterious zerg planet and its inhabitants’ intentions. But the lush alien landscape is host to other denizens, creatures shrouded in shadow, and should they be unleashed, they will change the fate of the entire galaxy.

Critic reviews

“I couldn’t put the book down. . . . If you love science fiction, solid characters, and great action sequences, you’ll love [StarCraft: Evolution].”—Cinelinx

“This one is definitely a fun read.”—Analog

worth every minute

Seeing as how Starcraft was my first RTS game, and I played through all the games thus far, when I saw this on Audible I just knew I had to listen to it.
Every moment was great, from the mood setting, to the narration, to the storyline, to the characters and everything.
I admit, I was kind of disheartend with the fact that this all happens on the same planet and in 1 day, but overall this is an amazing book.
A must to every fan of the franchise, simply amazing and worth every minute of it.
En Taro Tassadar!

A slow build up to the action but entertaining

I found that some of the lines from the characters were a little cliche. However, the story performance and action are all top-notch.

Expertly narrated, believable tactics, satisfying

I read Timothy Zahn's Star Wars books when I was an adolescent and was always thoroughly blown away by the intelligence of the tactics, and believable expertise of the military commanders, woven together with a fun story. Being 34 now and much more jaded, I was pleasantly surprised to find this story gave me those same impressions. I do wish his writing was longer and more detailed sometimes, but it really doesn't hurt the book that it isn't. I just want more of these to read!

Great Story - Great Book

This has been a great book and expands the universe of Starcraft greatly and explores some interesting concepts.
