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....

Necessary reading material for any anticipating SC2 fan!
Well worth the read for any sci-fi fan
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.
Rosemary's story is touched on much more here in the second novel and her flaws and growth as a character by the end of the series easily made her my favorite character. The Protoss story unfolds more as well and begins to cover parts of the history that fans are more familiar with and fans will enjoy learning about the enigmatic Protoss as much as new readers will enjoy learning about this proud race.
Woa, not expecting that.
The first book was fun, but things got real in this one.
Tons of Protoss lore, kinda complex stories, great deep characters introduced, fun battles and plot, and an awesome exciting ending battle; all that makes for a badass read.
Out of the three books in the series this was my personal favourite, surely cause it was the 'middle' book: it has more plot added so it wasn't boring (doesn't feel like an intro or an ending; just a nice plot/action packed book).
One of the best I've read in the entire Starcraft collection for sure; and the best out of the three Dark Templar saga books.
a very good second book in the dark templar trilogy

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!
