Synopsis

A Master Chief story and original full-length novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

2526. It has been a year since humanity engaged in its destructive first contact with a theocratic military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant. Now the hostilities have led to open war, and the United Nations Space Command understands virtually nothing about its new enemy. There are only two certainties—the Covenant is determined to eradicate humanity, and they have the superior technology to do just that. The UNSC’s only hope lies with the Spartans: enhanced supersoldiers raised and trained from childhood via a clandestine black ops project to be living weapons. Their designated commander, Petty Officer John-117, has been assigned to lead the Spartans on a desperate counterattack designed to rock the Covenant back on its heels, and to buy humanity the time it needs to gather intelligence and prepare its defenses.

But not everyone wants the Spartans to succeed. A coalition of human insurrectionist leaders believes an alliance with the Covenant to be its best hope of finally winning independence from the Unified Earth Government. To further their plans, the insurrectionists have dispatched a sleeper agent to sabotage the UNSC counterattack—and ensure that John-117 and the Spartans never return from battle....

Goodreads review by Alex on January 01, 2019

So the book started out great. Really tries to fit into the established Halo lore while still telling its own story. There are a few downsides however that made it very difficult for me to rate. First off it had a bit of an issue with pacing. The beginning was perfect, but then a few chapters would......more

Goodreads review by Keelan on August 02, 2020

A well-written book, but not my favourite. I'm docking a star because it feels like it's retreading ground already explored by Nylund's works, so it comes of as feeling like a fan-service compilation than a true story. The Covenant PoV is very well done. Unfortunately, it only takes up small snippet......more

Goodreads review by Luis on October 22, 2019

I’m a huge Halo fan and I have got to say, this was such a good read (no pun intended). Really though, anyone who’s read the early Halo Novels knows that they feel different from the newest ones. It’s not the the new ones are bad, but I fell in love with the militaristic aspect of the originals and......more

I really enjoyed this book. Troy Denning has become my favorite Halo author from the stories that have emerged after Bungie's Halo 3. He seems to be the only one that understands the Halo lore and how it's supposed to sound and feel. He stays true to what makes Halo great while also bringing in new......more

3.5 Stars I'm NEW to this universe. I want to read a few of the novels...so that when i watch the Halo TV series in June, I will have a better understanding. I don't play video games, so I am not invested into this world. I've heard a LOT about the world...from a lot of my friends and their kids. I h......more
