    Queen of blades being low I can understand, but Shadow of the xel'naga being higher than firstborn? That thing has about as many plotholes as queen of blades. Though I admit it can be a bit amusing, since I have a soft spot for Anderson's writing (see previous post).

    It's good that they dropped the pigs. Those guys weren't really that interesting in the grand scheme.

    well i enjoyed the non-canon story.it's like when you a tv series and they show an episode completely different but has some aspects from the original story.
    and has plot holes?don't remember...maybe it has.

    about queen of blades,that book is a novelisation of the zerg campaign of SC1 and MY GOD is such a bad adaptation.and the writing was bad too

    LOVE that cover nova vs queen of blades.

    Actually, the story is canon. It pretty much kicks off the dark templar saga.

    Fortunately, all important parts of Shadow of the Xel'Naga can be summed up in a single paragraph, found in chapter 2 of Firstborn.

    re

    Liberty's crusade. The others after that were ok or sucked.
