Publisher's summary

Sixty-thousand light-years from Earth, the corrupt Terran Confederacy holds the Koprulu sector tightly in its tyrannical grip, controlling every aspect of its citizens' lives. One man dares to stand up to this faceless empire and vows to bring it to its knees: Arcturus Mengsk - genius propagandist, tactician, and freedom fighter.

A monstrous act of bloody violence sows the seeds of rebellion in Arcturus, but he is not the first Mengsk to rail against such oppression. Before Arcturus grew to manhood, his father, Angus Mengsk, also defied the Confederacy and sought to end its brutal reign.

The destiny of the Mengsk family has long been tied to that of the Confederacy and the Koprulu sector, but as a new empire rises from the ashes of the past and alien invaders threaten the very existence of humanity, what will the future hold for the next generation?

The story of pre was Mensk.

Book filled in many gaps in the timeline and was excellent. A good look at the events leading up to the starcraft story.

Good

The only part that I dislike is the child voice acting. It literally made me cringe when hearing the "children's" voices

Awesome Stories

Loved the Mengsk family stories, though I always thought of Arcturus as evil, here you can ser he is just a man, goods and bads, and how he and is family became what they became. Amazing narrator also!

An excellent story.

This book captures the character of Megsk. It starts with his childhood and ends with him becoming emperor. It shows his abilities and his character flaws. The book is enjoyable and if you are a fan of starcraft, well worth your time.

Absolutely brilliant!

Amazing from start to finish. Neil Kaplans booming voice elevates this story to another level. It has great writing and gives good insight to Arcturus and Valerian Mengsk's background. Fenomenal storytelling!
