Publisher Description
An original novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!
October 2559. With the galaxy in the suffocating grip of a renegade artificial intelligence, another perilous threat has quietly emerged in the shadows: the Keepers of the One Freedom, a fanatical and merciless Covenant splinter group, has made its way beyond the borders of the galaxy to an ancient Forerunner installation known as the Ark. Led by an infamous Brute named Castor, the Keepers intend to achieve what the Covenant, in all its might, failed to: activate Halo and take the last steps on the path of the Great Journey into transcendence.
But unknown to Castor and his new, unexpected ally on the Ark, there are traitors to the cause in their midst—namely the Ferrets, composed of Office of Naval Intelligence operative Veta Lopis and her young team of Spartan-IIIs, who have been infiltrating the Keepers to lay the groundwork for Castor’s assassination. But with ONI’s field operations now splintered and cut off by the Guardian threat, Veta’s original mission has suddenly and dramatically escalated in scope. There’s simply no choice or fallback plan—either the Ferrets somehow stop the Keepers or the galaxy faces an extinction-level event….
Customer Reviews
Great book, poor choice of narrator
 While the book was enjoyable from start to finish, I found that the choice of narrator diminish the experience. The other two books in the trilogy released by Scott brick, who did a remarkable job at separating character voices in establishing tone with his reading, however. The narrator for this book shows strange voices for each character in my opinion, and in comparison, to the last two books did not capture each characters voices as well as previous choices , while this does not ruin the book for me, I definitely would have preferred the previous narrator to finish the story, and even despite the poor choice of narrator, it’s still serves as a good listen
Great Story with a Sub-par Voice
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but it was annoying to hear the way that the reader was saying various phrases, which are sometimes drastically different than most of the other audiobooks in the franchise
Great Story, Decent Narration
Another excellent entry by Troy Denning. Aida Reluzco is a decent narrator with the small exception that some of her character voices/accents sound like they were taken from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Recommend reading Halo: Ghosts on Onyx and Halo: Glasslands; followed by true entries in this series: Halo: Last Light and Halo: Retribution; additionally recommend reading Halo: Shadows of Reach immediately prior to this novel. This story takes place after the events of Halo 5 Guardians and Halo Wars 2, but before Halo Infinite.
