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.
Blowing up supply route bridges on key planets, hacking into Confederate mainframes and staging mine-worker revolts was all well and good, but the time had come to strengthen his numbers and to set out on his quest in earnest.
Arcturus felt his stomach tighten and was aware of nothing but that image in front of him, the image of Korhal burning.

Arcturus is the yellowish-orange star near the big dipper, and it happens to be setting around 2:30am these days, so I'd say that's what skywatcher saw.

Actually, there’s only one main character, Maskull, a man lost on the planet Tormance, wandering from one race to another, murdering well meaning people who cross his path, sprouting extra hands and organs, and generally befuddled as to why he’s there.
I suggest that A Voyage to Arcturus is a great novel, despite the above shortcomings because of the profound vision behind the book, and the clarity with which it is conveyed.
In a world that worships pleasure, Krag is the devil, not an evil figure but one who seeks to awaken human beings from the sleep in which they unwittingly wallow, to their spiritual destiny.
