Starcraft II

Golden, Christie. Starcraft II: Devil's Due, Pocket Star, 2012.


This book is about the protagonist, Jim Raynor, a former marine lance corporal. It delves into a period in his life which was unforgettable. Set in the year 2494 and almost 5 years ago after standing up to their corrupt commanding officer, Raynor and a friend Tychus Findlay were forced to go AWOL. Both of them are outlaws and since they ran away, they have been spending their money in various places. It is only a matter of time until their past catches up to them.

I found this game very interesting. Having played its predecessor Starcraft, I was keen to see what number 2 brings to the table. Strategy games have never been my forte but nevertheless it is still a great game to play.

The genre revolves around war and violence.
