Synopsis

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.

About Timothy Zahn

It is not often that you hear of someone going through several years of postgraduate education, who ends up turning a hobby into their life's, paying, productive work. Such is the unusual story of American author, Timothy Zahn, who was born in 1951, grew up in Lombard, IL and graduated with a B.S. Degree in physics from Michigan State University. He then proceeded to the University of IL where he received his M.S. Degree in 1975. After beginning his doctorate in physics, his advisor passed away, and he never did complete the studies.

Zahn had started writing as a hobby, so when his plans changed, he took his writing of science fiction to a higher level. Zahn is best known for his Thrawn Star Wars series of novels. He has also had other novels of fantasy and science fiction. There are also many works that he has penned in short story fiction.

Zahn and his wife Anna live in Bandon, Oregon and have one son, Corwin Zahn.

I have been reading Timothy Zahn books since he started putting out Star Wars novels. There is not one book that he has ever written that has ever disappointed me. STARCRAFT: Evolution is no exception. I do, however, have a confession. I am not a gamer. I've heard of Starcraft, but . . . When I was......more

Goodreads review by Renato on February 21, 2019

The whole thing reads like a decent fanfic authored by your resident Dungeon Master/Michael Bay fan: the most this book made sense was at the fightscenes. The descriptions are sometimes awkward and overdone; characters seem to have this uncanny ability to read the situation perfectly and even make s......more

Timothy Zahn is a wizard. This is the only explanation. First Thrawn, now this? He has a true talent for taking established settings and adding new material that both fits the flavor and enriches the original format in unique and exciting ways. Any time you get "expanded universe" material, especiall......more

Goodreads review by Sean on February 22, 2017

Helps to have played Legacy of the Void (significant number of references to units from that expansion), or the games in general. Good solid characters, even if the plot is a little thin. Fans of the series are sure to be pleased.......more

Goodreads review by Joshua on February 27, 2022

Surprisingly good for a book written in a video game universe. I often find them of lower quality. Not amazing, but I enjoyed it.......more
