Some nice fluff for the StarCraft series that tells the back story of the Ghost Nova. The story goes over the early life of Nova and how she went from a pampered scion of one of the Old Family's that rule the Confederacy of Man until her family was targeted by radicals and her burgeoning psychic powers get her notes by the Governments Ghost program. Now forced to hide in the Slums Nova has to deal with the criminal underworld that runs the slums and the government agents looking for her.The story itself was good but nothing special and would probably only really interest die hard StarCraft fans. I also felt some of the sub plots could have been expanded as they seemed to start to go somewhere only to have the character killed of or never mentioned again. One thing I thought DeCandido did well was presenting the drug junkies as i think he got the thought proses of a junkie down pat. Overall like I said nice fluff for StarCraft fans but probably wouldn't interest the general sci-fi reader as the story is nothing new. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Four years after the end of the Brood War, Emperor Arcturus Mengsk has rebuilt much of the Terran Dominion and consolidated a new military force despite an ever-present alien threat. Within this boiling cauldron of strife and subversion, a young woman known only as Nova shows the potential to become Mengsk's most lethal and promising "Ghost" operative. Utilizing a combination of pure physical aptitude, innate psychic power, and advanced technology, Nova can strike anywhere with the utmost stealth. Like a phantom in the shadows, she exists only as a myth to the enemies of the Terran Dominion. Yet Nova wasn't born a killer. She was once a privileged child of one of the Old Families of the Terran Confederacy, but her life changed forever when a rebel militia murdered her family. In her grief, Nova unleashed her devastating psychic powers, killing hundreds in a single, terrible moment. Now, on the run through the slums of Tarsonis, she is unable to trust anyone. Pursued by a special agent tasked with hunting down rogue telepaths, Nova must come to terms with both her burgeoning powers and her guilt -- before they consume her and destroy everything in her path....
