StarCraft: Ghost: Spectres


 * This article is about the novel. For the warrior and StarCraft: Ghost unit, see Spectre.

StarCraft: Ghost: Spectres is the working title of a StarCraft: Ghost novel to be written by Keith R. A. DeCandido. It is tentatively expected to be published in the summer of 2009.

DeCandido says it's pretty much official at this point, as Pocket Books has made his agent an offer that he has accepted, and Blizzard Entertainment liked 90% of the outline which DeCandido sent. DeCandido followed Blizzard's recommendations and has sent in a proposal, which has since been approved. DeCandido hopes it will be published at the same time as StarCraft: Ghost: Academy (also due summer 2009).

Plot
The novel will novelize many elements of StarCraft: Ghost's plot, such as the backstory of the Spectre, and 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.

A major character in StarCraft II will appear in Spectres as well as in the Ghost: Academy graphic novel, along with Malcolm Kelerchian.
