Mass Market Paperback: 384 pages

More details soon once I knock a few contacts. Thanks, Andrzej.
UPDATE: Graham Mc Neill told me the following:
“I, Mengsk is a look at three generations of the Mengsk family from the inside out…what shaped Arcturus and the years of his life we haven’t seen yet: the relationship between his father and his son. It’s a novel about what it means to be a Mengsk, a story of fathers and sons, and looks at whether a man’s destiny is his own and how it is shaped by the generation before it.”
Other Starcraft projects I am aware of:
- Aaron Rosenberg will write a sequel to Queen of Blades.
- Keith R.A. DeCandido might be writing a Tokyopop Starcraft Manga (2009). Recently he told me he would love to write a new Starcraft: Ghost novel, but that there are no plans thus far.
