Synopsis

One marine squad, led by young upstart Jim Raynor and giant Tychus Findlay, are prepared to battle a corrupt government as it works for interplanetary domination in this action-packed thriller set in the StarCraft universe.

For the poor, hardworking citizens of the Confederacy’s fringe worlds, the Guild Wars have exacted a huge toll. Swayed by the promise of financial rewards, a new batch of recruits joins the fight alongside a slew of mysteriously docile criminals—and a few dubious military leaders. Eighteen-year-old Jim Raynor, full of testosterone and eager to make things right at home, ships off to boot camp, but he soon discovers that the official mission is not what he’s really fighting for.

For the first time ever, StarCraft enthusiasts will learn the ori­gins of the enduring friendship between Jim Raynor and the streetwise soldier Tychus Findlay. Watch as they battle on the front lines of a fierce interplanetary war and bear witness to the Confederacy’s rank corruption—corruption so reprehensible that it rains immeasurable death and destruction upon the government’s own people.

Goodreads review by Giovanni on July 08, 2010

I have been trying to get into other genres to keep things fresh and exciting once in a while. I am a bit of a suspense/mystery type person.

Wait, why didn't I realize that this book is by the guy who wrote the infamous Mass Effect: Deception (you know, the book with a google doc created containing all the mistakes)?! That... explains a lot. This book was bad. Boring, senseless, actively working against the reader trying to enjoy. For exa......more

Goodreads review by C.T. on August 18, 2018

HEAVEN'S DEVILS is better than it has any right to be and that's despite the fact it makes use of a lot of military cliches before going in unexpected directions. It's a piece of tie-fiction, which means that it must be judged on two criteria: 1. Is it entertaining to fans? 2. Is it entertaining to......more

Goodreads review by Ray on August 02, 2018

This had a slow start for me, which led to me putting it aside for many months. However, the last third or so was rather redeeming. Unlike some other books of this sort, Heaven's Devils does not assume the reader is familiar with StarCraft lore, especially because it functions as a sort of a prequel......more

Goodreads review by Dennis on March 07, 2018

I didn't expect much before reading this book but it definitely surprised me. It was a great book and very entertaining. A bit of a slow start, but it gets quite good once the story starts ramping up. Would recommend. The main protagonist is Jim Raynor, one of the most famous characters in the Terran......more
