The story follows the life of Arcturus Mengsk, from his academy years on Korhal to his time with the Confederacy Marine Corps and the birth of his rebellion against the Confederacy.The book gives a good insight into the Mengsk family, Arcturus' father, Angus, and his mother and sister. A rebellious teenage Arcturus refuses to follow in his fathers footsteps (and his challenging the corrupt Confederacy) and leaves his home on Korhal to become a marine. Events change throughout the book and he is drawn into the conflict his father helped to create.The second part of the book sees Mengsk become a prospector and learn of his son, Valerian, and sees Arcturus take up his fathers cause and become emperor of the dominion after his crushing defeat of the Confederacy.Starting from his teens, the book follows his life up to the end of the first StarCraft game, just before Brood War. Characters in the novel include an appearance from Captain Edmund Duke, later General Duke, a brief cameo by Samir Duran and Arcturus interactions with Juliana Pasteur, the mother of his child.The book is full of detailed environments and good character interaction and dialogue and gives an interesting look at Terran life before the arrival of the Zerg and Protoss and especially the life of the Mengsk family.The only downside to the book is that it does not cover some key events of his past before and during the game, such as his interaction with Sarah Kerrigan, how he caught up to her, rescued her, and got her to fight for his cause. Or how Arcturus come to see Zerg in confederate labs a year before their invasion in the game, or what had caused him to be near Mar Sara to help the magistrate and meet Jim Raynor on the first game. These are only minor things but would have been a good addition to the history of Arcturus.Overall this is a very enjoyable read, recommended for any fan of the game. The book would be great even if you had never played or heard of the game, the writing and story are very strong in their own right and makes for a very good Sci-Fi novel. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good storyline *by S***Z on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 11 February 2017* From all the books from the blizzard franchise, this must be the one i like the most. I think it is because of thefact that the story isn't just a carbon copy from the actual game. For instance, arthas from warcraft is exactly the same as the actual game, so there was nothing really gripping me whilst reading. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The writer and blizzard did a damn good job! *by B***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 31 October 2015* I was surprised.Story based on the game was much more entertaining then expected.So I ordered four more books of starcraft.The writer and blizzard did a damn good job! --- ## 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.co.uk/products/50917512-starcraft-i-mengsk](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50917512-starcraft-i-mengsk) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
