SCH:Nova BOOK!?

A SC: Ghost book? Wtf, seriously. And I thought only the game was going to maybe come out.

Check out information here

Chech out a book excerpt here

Order your book here

Real? Fake? I really do not know hwta to make of it. Either a fast one is being pulled, or this is the real shit. Check out the color of Nova's hair, blonde. So this had to be either written after Blizzard did ther revamp or something is decent with PS.

Shouldn't they release the game first before they worry about fan fiction? Just a thought.

They're coming out with a book with Kerrigan on the cover, but I had no idea about this book, it's worth looking into.

Why not just focus more on the actual game and not on more ways to bleed money for people? If they want more money, just make it a MMORPG. All the pathetic and rich kiddys will pay them more money per month.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/074...lance&n=283155

Release date is Nov. 26, 06.


Edit; As to all of you saying shit about "OMG WHY DOESNT BLIZZARD JUST WORK ON THE GAME NOT THE BOOK!!"

They are. They have little to do with the book, other than liscencing and an overview of whats going to be put in.

I dont belive this if any of you Noobs had acutally done your homework you would know

1.The book is the prequel to the game so they dont have to change the games storyline to match the book or vice versa and the bulk of the book is set in the orginal starcraft timezone

2.the book was finished ages ago and it is to be released the same time as the game so its not like blizzard is waiting for the book

It's a book from a writer not even associated with Blizzard. It has nothing to do with the actual game at all.

How long has it been since Infested Kerrigan swept her opponents and claimed victory in Starcraft: Broodwar?

Keith: My novel primarily takes place before that -- in fact, the bulk of NOVA is roughly concurrent with the action in STARCRAFT: LIBERTY'S CRUSADE. Kerrigan doesn't play any kind of role in NOVA, though she is mentioned. However, there's an upcoming STARCRAFT novel called QUEEN OF BLADES by Aaron Rosenberg that will deal with Kerrigan more thoroughly.


Are any of the known heroes or characters from Starcraft and Starcraft: Broodwar in the book?

Keith: Well, Nova, obviously, though she isn't a character yet, until the game's actually released. The reporter Dan Liberty from STARCRAFT: LIBERTY'S CRUSADE makes a cameo, and Arcturus Mengsk appears in the book as well.


How will your book impact the events in the Console game?

Keith: That's up to Blizzard. As I said above, some of the backstory for the character of Nova that I established in the book is part of the game's backstory.


Since the book is a prequel or intro to the game, Are there plans to bundle the Console game and the book -- to your knowledge?

Keith: I have no idea. That's up to Blizzard and Pocket Book.
Just read the damn interview.

It's just that from taking so long to get it out they are losing many, many potential buyers. None of my friends even care anymore.
