Publisher Description
The bestselling adaptation of the iconic video game Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the Master Chief—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series!
2552. Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117—the Master Chief—and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew’s only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground.
But they soon discover that this enigmatic ringworld is much more than it seems. Built one hundred thousand years ago by a long-lost civilization known as the Forerunners, this “Halo” is worshipped by the Covenant—a sacred artifact they hope will complete their religious quest for supposed transcendence, and they will stop at nothing to control it. Engaging in fierce combat, Master Chief and Cortana will go deep into the Halo construct and uncover its dark secret and true purpose—even as a monstrous and far more vicious enemy than the Covenant emerges to threaten all sentient life on Halo and the galaxy beyond…
Customer Reviews
***Greatest Military Science Fiction***
Very cohesively written mission action story. Full of character and fatalist drama that shows you the UNSC brutal discipline and tactile methods. This book will have you convinced of another earth and the future time of their story.
Great take on Aliens and the wider universe at large. Lots to draw upon here. Great reading!
Great story, oblivious narration
Well having listened to the story while playing the campaign on legendary in step, it’s awesome and practically a strategy guide that matches my experience playing while adding life to it. That’s awesome.
The narrator is good, but stabs you with irritation with every utterance of, “spartan-one-seventeen,” and, “Mah-jowel-neer armor.” Bastardizing those pronunciations is unforgivable. Dude was one simple consolation away from perfection, but bungled that.
Great read
Great recount of Halo CE’s events and backstory. The reader however mispronounced a few words not a huge issue.
