Synopsis

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

Stripped of armor, might, and memory, the legendary Forerunner warrior known as the Didact was torn from the physical world following his destructive confrontation with the Master Chief and sent reeling into the mysterious depths of a seemingly endless desert wasteland. This once powerful and terrifying figure is now a shadow of his former self—gaunt, broken, desiccated, and alone. But this wasteland is not as barren as it seems. A blue light glints from a thin spire in the far distance…

Thus begins the Didact’s great journey—the final fate of one of the galaxy’s most enigmatic and pivotal figures.

I listened to this book via Audible. Epitaph was an unexpected return to the story of the Didact and the Forerunners after last seeing them in Halo 4 and the subsequent comics where we thought he had finally died. It also does an admirable job tying into the stories of Halo 5 and Infinite, showing ce......more

Goodreads review by Drew on February 29, 2024

Kelly Gay has managed to do the two things I hate most hate in media, bringing a dead character back to life and turning a bad guy into a good guy, absolutely brilliantly. I went into this with low expectations as I did not like those exact same tropes used for the character 343 Guilty Spark in prev......more

The book I didn't know I needed. The epilogue to the Forerunner saga I didn't know I needed. The background filling between Halo Guardians and Infinite didn't know I wanted. Absolutely beautiful read, expanding and absolutely beautiful and underutilised character from the games. The Didact deserved bett......more
