Synopsis

Discover the original novel set in the Halo universe, based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

Saskia, Dorian, Evie, and Victor aren’t exactly friends at their small high school on the middle-of-nowhere colony world of Meridian. Each has their own problems, from absent parents to supporting their family, getting into a good college to making the next hit holo-film. But those problems were nothing next to the threat now facing their world: The alien alliance known as the Covenant is laying siege to Meridian, for reasons that aren’t so easily explained.

With their village in flames, the four teens find themselves stuck above ground, locked out of the town shelter where the rest of the survivors are gathered. Together, Saskia, Dorian, Evie, and Victor are thrust into battle with nothing but a few scavenged weapons and an injured Spartan, one of the UNSC’s super-soldiers. What’s forged from the destruction will determine the fate of Meridian and tilt the battle for humanity’s survival.

Their personalities jump around way too much, making it seem like the author forgot who was who. I did enjoy the Spartan. I saw reviewers complaining that this book didn't explain the Cove......more

Goodreads review by Ben on March 26, 2020

A YA-“Halo” novel? Yes, you read that right….and yes, it reads about exactly as you would expect. To be fair: “Halo: Battle Born” isn’t BAD, at least so far as readability goes – the story moves at a decent clip, the characters are likable, and all in all, there’s an affability to the thing that’s no......more

Goodreads review by Drew on February 11, 2019

I love the Halo video games, especially Halo 3, and I love young adult literature so this book is perfect for me. The author doesn't go into too much detail about the Covenant; those who have played the video games of course will have a better understanding of the aliens but that knowledge is not ne......more
