Publisher Description
An original novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!
2559. It has been a year since the rogue artificial intelligence Cortana seized control of the Domain, an otherworldly dimension housing a vast information network. With an array of Forerunner weapons at her disposal, Cortana set out to enforce an authoritarian peace on the civilizations of the galaxy. But as the United Nations Space Command flagship Infinity prepares to strike against Cortana at Zeta Halo, another plan has also been set in motion.
An ancient access point hidden on a seemingly insignificant human colony has become the focus of a parallel effort to claim the Domain and its immeasurable capabilities. The UNSC, however, needs a key: a living, forsaken product of an old war. As a new generation of heroes rise to meet this challenge, and Cortana's pursuit of control reaches a desperate and sudden crescendo, a cunning, ruthless warrior emerges from the shadows of the Banished, who has vowed to fill the new power vacuum by any means necessary…

Good, but has problems
The story has a compelling start but becomes too predictable towards the end of it with little being resolved and many of characters being set up for distant stories later to be told.
As for the narrator. The narrator does a good job of enunciating but speaks too slowly to the point I had to increase the playing speed to 1.5.
Highly Disappointed
I’m a big halo fan and truth is this book was poorly written 🤦🏽♂️and the story line was completely unnecessary … no plot twist nothing exciting , not even attempt to have me in suspense…. Just boring…. So here is some advice Microsoft studios…. Give us something new whether if it’s forerunner storyline or precursor because the truth is the halo fans or tired of the same story being told in new books 💔and secondly some of your BEST and most phenomenally read books are done by Scott brick….. his reading allows the listener to actually visualize the words
