Since the beginning of time, the angelic forces of the High Heavens and the demonic hordes of the Burning Hells have been locked in the Eternal Conflict for the fate of all Creation. That struggle has now spilled over into Sanctuary — the world of men. Determined to win mankind over to their respective causes, the forces of good and evil wage a secret war for mortal souls. This is the tale of the Sin War — the conflict that would forever change the destiny of man.
Bent on destroying the evil cult of the Triune, Uldyssian does not yet suspect that Inarius — secret Prophet of the Cathedral of Light — has been subtly aiding his quest. Obsessed with restoring Sanctuary to its former glory, Inarius has been playing Uldyssian against the two great religions in a reckless attempt to topple them both. But another player has slipped back into the equation. The demon Lilith, once Inarius's lover, seeks to use Uldyssian as her own pawn in a scheme to turn humans into an army of naphalem — godlike beings, more powerful than any angel or demon, who could overturn all Creation and elevate Lilith to supreme being.
An original tale of swords, sorcery, and timeless struggle based on the bestselling, award-winning M-rated computer game from Blizzard Entertainment. Intended for mature readers.

Scales of the Serpent (The Sin War Trilogy #2) (Diablo Series)
The book continues my experience with the first of the series, which was good as long as one knows what to expect. To be completely honest, considering that the Blizzard gaming company threw its endorsement behind the writing of these book, I did expect a bit more as far as literary quality.
I've heard someone say that these books sound 'too much like fan fiction', which I'd say is dead on, though in all honesty that IS what these books are. The criticism is valid, however. My main complaint with these books is that Knaak breaks the cardinal rule of fiction writing--he 'tells' far, far more often than he 'shows'. While this helps in keeping the books accessible and very quick reads for those fans that may not want to digest a more textured set of novels, to me it feels like a lost opportunity to bring the canon of the Diablo universe to a more visceral level.
However, if one goes in with the right expectations, these books are quite enjoyable. The equivalent perhaps of the 'trashy romance novel', these books so far are solid fantasy escapism, and bring in a great deal of back story that any Diablo fan, I think, would enjoy.
