Publisher's summary

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 and finds his footing on the battlefield, 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 the young upstart 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.

Fun and entertaining listen

Very enjoyable book to listen to while doing my cardio workout. I play the game and to learn more of the back story was a plus. If you like the Starcraft 2 universe I would recommend you download the book.

The storytelling and reader are great.

The storytelling was great. The reader did an excellent job with really driving the emotion of the main group. Especially Tychus and Raynor.

Good listen

By the end I loved it and wanted more

In the beginning I felt like some of the character voices were a little over the top but the narrator gets Jims voice pretty good and absolutely lands Tycus' voice. I am glad this was my first audio book. It left a good impression.

Awesome

If you could sum up Starcraft II: Heaven's Devils in three words, what would they be?

Action packed with a great driving story line that keeps you enjoying the story. You don't need to be a fan of the game to enjoy this listen.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tychus Findlay, the definition of a bad ass in every aspect of the word.

Have you listened to any of Neil Kaplan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

He is amazing, he embodies the characters perfectly. Even down to the most hardened marine!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Expendable Three (pre-movie production)

Any additional comments?

Highly suggested.

No "Pre-Gaming" Required

For those of you looking for another great sci-fi war story but haven't played the game, you may be wondering if you need knowledge of the mythos to understand and enjoy this book. The answer is no, the book makes no assumptions about you're fore-knowledge and in fact the story may be better if you have not read the books as this prequel does not spoil anything. This is a story unto-itself not a gimmick or a ride along to the games. The narrator is excellent and the story is exciting, well plotted, and well placed. Their are very few sci-fi books I could recommend more.
