While I was researching for this video:-"5 Years of awesome Starcraft 2 Wallpapers"
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXM5HMKecLI ]
I noticed that many of the wallpapers were tied to Blizzard's short stories.They are to be found here:
[http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/game/lore/]
In all there are 27 short stories going all the way back to October 2009.
After reading the story about the Protoss Tal'darim,called Ascension
[http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/game/lore/short-stories/ascension/1]
I found that I wanted to know more about the Koprulu sector than the games provide alone.Which of these short stories would you recommend I read next?
So, then I started reading "First Born" by Christie Golden. This is the first part of the so-called Dark Templar Saga.I am about 2/3 through this first book so far. And it is excellent.
Which of the other full novels set in the Starcraft universe have you read?And which would you say is the best?What is essential reading to fill in the gaps ready for Legacy of the Void's launch? I feel Firstborn is helping greatly. Have you got any other back story filling media to suggest that I should know about?

I think the one called Flashpoint is set between Wol and Hots was kind of nice.

Someone should write a fictional SC2 story on TL, wouldn't that be awesome?

We've had comics involving progamers that were pretty funny.

The Dark Templar Saga is great. I've also read first 2 stories of the StarCraft Archive: Liberty's Crusade (basically Terran's campaign from a reporter's point of view - was nice) and Shadow of the Xel Naga (explains some stuff that is mentioned in The Dark Templar Saga - decent story, nothing special).
