StarCraft: The Dark Templar Saga by Christie Golden introduces readers to Jake Ramsey, an unassuming yet talented archaeologist who has been given the chance of a lifetime. Hired to investigate a recently unearthed Xel'Naga temple, he knows this latest assignment will open up whole new possibilities for his career.

Yet, when Jake discovers the remains of a long-dead protoss mystic, his hopes and dreams are irrevocably drowned in a flood of alien memories. Bonded to the spirit of the dead protoss, Jake becomes the sole inheritor of the protoss's total history—every event, every thought, every feeling.
