OMGah! Blizzplanet’s radars this month have been full of bogeys! From the pen of New York Times Best Selling Author Christie Golden, a new StarCraft II tie-in novel will land upon a bookstore or online library near you.
Christie has been very busy writing for the IP universes of Blizzard Entertainment these past two years:
- World of Warcraft: Arthas: Rise of the Lich King
- World of Warcraft: The Shattering: Book One of Cataclysm
- World of Warcraft: Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects
- Starcraft II: Devils’ Due
Christie Golden is currently writing StarCraft: Secret Missions due April 10, 2012. It’s a Hardcover containing 320 pages. Does the novel somewhat slates an approximate release date for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm? Does the title “Secret Missions” implies anything to do with that StarCraft: Brood War secret mission with Duran and Zeratul? Or does it explore further past missions of Jim Raynor? We are still several months away to learn the book description, but I can tell you I’m excited with this new title.
We have added StarCraft: Secret Missions to our 2011 Blizzard Products Release Dates page. We will inform when pre-orders, the book description or front cover image become available.
It’s probably a tie-in with HotS telling the story of Sarah Kerrigan before her time in the Sons of Khoral, most likely explaining her debt to Arcturus Mengsk. The title “Secret Missions” would refer to her job as a ghost, and like you said MD, the date is awfully suspicious. 😀
That’s very close to the StarCraft Anniversary
For whatever reason after I read the title I immediately thought Alexei Stukov. I’ve no idea why.
