Starcraft: The Dark Templar Trilogy, Book 3: Twilight

When describing this to folks I call it, “Bladerunner meets Indiana Jones.”

I haven’t written as many StarCraft books as WoW books, but I’ve always enjoyed them. My first adventure in that universe was to write an original series with only a few pre-existing characters. My archaeologist Jake Ramsey, and the assassin/guard R.M. Dahl are two of my very favorite characters, and helping to establish some essential biology regarding the protoss was pretty awesome.

Trilogies are tough things to corral, and Blizzard was very supportive of the direction I wanted to take. While it’s a big story, my love for the small moments, the human (or protoss) heart, are very much a part of the story.

No, not that TWILIGHT, which, inconveniently, was published around the same time this book was! I’m kinda known for breaking readers’ hearts (but I do hope I fill their hearts too, now and then!). Everything reaches a climax here, with high stakes and sacrifice. Not everyone makes it. The series is about remembering, honoring, and learning from the past—and sharing its wisdom. My life for Aiur. --Christie

After the seeming defeat of the dark archon Ulrezaj on the protoss homeworld of Aiur, Jake and Rosemary become separated as they flee through the newly repaired warp gate. Rosemary finds herself with the other refugee protoss on Shakuras, while Jake is catapulted elsewhere. But Jake does not have long to live: their enemies are regrouping, and Zamara’s essence must be separated from Jake’s mind before time runs out.
