Starcraft II: Flashpoint Review: Incredible! - What an excellent book for Starcraft fans! For fans of Christie's character driven stories in the Blizzard universes, this is an absolute MUST HAVE! It's got a bit of everything in it: tons of action, adventure, great dialogue, mystery, suspense and heart touching romance! The story transitions well from the immediate aftermath of Wings of Liberty to set the stage properly for the upcoming Heart of the Swarm expansion set. Many characters, both major and minor, have their motivations and personalities shown in spotlight to create a much more personal journey than has been explored in the previous games. Of course the main characters you would expect make appearances: Jim Raynor, Sarah Kerrigan, Matt Horner, Valerian and Arcturus Mengsk. More importantly, many of the series minor characters are also explored, including Mira Han, Rory Swann, Egon Stettman, and previously unknown members of Raynor's Raiders. The character driven plot gives a much greater sense of a "universe" than Wings of Liberty could on its own, giving the games setting more depth in hindsight. In my opinion, though, the highlight of the book was not its wonderful, character driven plot to set up Heart of the Swarm, but the tantalizing looks that it gave to the past, concerning the relationship of Jim Raynor and Sarah Kerrigan. The book goes into detail about just what Jim thought upon meeting Kerrigan for the first time (the famous "You pig!" and "Yeah but you were thinkin' it" line), their first date, Jim's deepening feelings for Sarah as she expresses her true emotions and motives. While I have mentioned many of the character driven elements of the book, that is not to say that it isn't still set in the Starcraft universe! There are still fantastic action scenes in the book: plenty of gunfighting, battles in outer space, chase scenes and the like! The difficulty is that I caught myself having to re-read many of these scenes because the spoken dialogue between the main characters are just too captivating! Readers, I know it's difficult when the story is just so ridiculously engrossing, but slow down and take your time to read through the actions scenes as well! They really help to set the scene for just how much trouble Jim, Sarah and crew are in than the dialogue alone can convey! To round out my review, I would like to add that I have touched very lightly on the plot elements, and I neglected to mention some of the more important things at all because I do not want to spoil the book for you. I have not mentioned the most tender moment of the franchise so far, the suspense involving the reveal of Raynor's true allies and enemies, or the sinister plot underlying the franchise expanded upon ever so slightly in these pages. I have been a fan of literature since I was young, and a great fan of Christie Golden's work for Blizzard since I discovered her. This book, in my opinion, will rival her novel about Arthas Menethil as the masterstroke of her career so far. Going into the novel I had many idolized ideas about who the characters and their feelings towards each other. I was pleasantly surprised, at the end of my reading, to find that my ideas about the characters were not only correct, but enhanced by the backstory presented to us. To me, the mark of a great book is one which can not only present a beautiful overall scene, but also colors in the small details to create a full picture. In this book, the Starcraft universe is our canvas, and the complex characters fill in all of the wonderful details. Review: Excellent Book - Christie presents an excellent, action-packed story. The details about Jim and Sarah's past help you understand their relationship. Valerian Mengsk plays an important role in the book, and I thought his character was developed very well. You even get a closer look at Mira Han and her mercenary gang. The action keeps coming in this book, and you certainly won't be bored. In summary, the author provides an exciting story that really adds to the Starcraft Universe. Great plot, excellent character development, good writing (I've heard some of the other books had some poor writing, I have no complaints for Flashpoint). Please write a book that transitions from Heart of the Swarm to Legacy of the Void Christie! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0743471318 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,131,692 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #832 in Colonization Science Fiction #7,335 in Military Science Fiction (Books) #12,789 in Science Fiction Adventures | | Book 3 of 3 | StarCraft | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (308) | | Dimensions | 4.13 x 0.7 x 6.75 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | ISBN-10 | 9780743471312 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0743471312 | | Item Weight | 7.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | May 28, 2013 | | Publisher | Pocket Books | ## Images ![Starcraft II: Flashpoint - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PABS6r+iL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible! *by L***A on November 11, 2012* What an excellent book for Starcraft fans!

It really does a good job bridging the gap between Wings and Heart, and also fills in some gaps in the original games' plots by refreshingly beefing up the relationship between Raynor and Kerrigan, the former Queen of Blades. There are spoilers here if you haven't played the first part of the Starcraft II trilogy, but why would you read a book set in the time line if you weren't at least partially up to speed? The characters seem legit, the situations are well written, and the tension is real. There are surprises, twists, and some solid questions asked. Having not played Heart of the Swarm yet I can say I am both amped to give it a go and interested in seeing how the cliff hangers are handled. If you like Starcraft and want more, this is as good a place to look as any. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/4531638-starcraft-ii-flashpoint](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/4531638-starcraft-ii-flashpoint) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
