THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF EVERY PERSON’S
life, a large-scale catastrophe is certain to occur. At some
point, fate will hand each of us the ultimate test: a
tragedy so profound and so inescapable that it will forever
alter the remaining course of the life affected. This
event will have one of two outcomes. The man or
woman confronted with the catastrophe may be defeated
in the test, and live the remainder of their life as a
shadow of the person they once were. Or a person might
transform and become strengthened by their experience,
transcending all self-imposed limitations and flourishing
in a way they had never deemed possible.
Arcturus Mengsk was one such man. He had overcome
a tragic event in his life, and now it had changed
him, forever molded him into a being of single-minded
purpose and unshakable determination. Lesser men

would have been broken by the tragedy. Lesser men
would have just given up. But lesser men did not take
their place in the proud annals of Terran history.
During his formative years, young Arcturus would
often awake from dreams in which he had seen himself
as a figure of importance, a preeminent leader of men.
Mostly, Arcturus would dismiss the dreams as whims of
an overactive imagination. In the waking world,
Arcturus did not see himself as the leader-type at all. He
didn’t care about the affairs of others; he didn’t care
about the Confederacy. All he cared about was serving
his time in the Confederate military and how much
money he might be able to earn as a fringe-world
prospector when that time was done. He had certainly
done his duty, and, lack of desire to lead notwithstanding,
had ascended to the rank of colonel before the climate
changed; before he realized he was not fighting for
what he believed in, and of course, before the tragedy.
Now, in the wake of the tragedy, things had changed.
Arcturus’s self-perception had changed; the man he
once saw himself as seemed no more than a distant relative.
Now Arcturus was on his way to becoming the
man he was in his dreams.

Bom para aprofundar.

Eu tava no "Hype" de SC nessa época e devorava tudo que encontrava, foi uma leitura mais lenta por ser em inglês mas é um bom livro, mas só pra quem é fã de SC mesmo, acho que para quem não conhece não seria uma leitura muito boa.
É um bom livro para você imergir mais no universo mas não agrega muita coisa.
