[edit] Plot

The novel will novelize many elements of StarCraft: Ghost’s plot,[4] such as the backstory of the spectre[5] and the nature of terrazine and its usage.[6] The game's plot will act as a loose basis for the novel. Spectres will also tie into the prequel, StarCraft: Ghost: Nova, the graphic novel series StarCraft: Ghost Academy and the game StarCraft II.[4]

The first chapter involves Nova in a large battle against the zerg, a scene that DeCandido carried out "detailed research" for.[7]

[edit] Description

What terror can haunt a ghost? Coinciding with the release of StarCraft II—the eagerly anticipated sequel to Blizzard Entertainment’s top-selling science-fiction real-time strategy game—Nova, an elite stealth operative, embarks on a heartstopping mission that pits her against her own kind and her tragic, hidden past.

Ghosts epitomize the height of terran evolution and physical conditioning. Born with incredible psionic potential, they are recruited and quarantined for government training as children. Nova Terra, stripped of her memory upon joining the elite corps, welcomed the chance to put painful memories to rest. But now, her past returns to haunt her when a forgotten friend joins Nova’s investigation into a ghost-kidnapping plot. A shocking discovery pits her against shadows of her past and the future of terran psionic warriors: Spectres.[8]
