Publisher's Summary
Welcome to humanity’s new war: silent, high stakes, and unseen. This is a life-or-death mission for ONI’s black-ops team, Kilo-Five, which is tasked with preventing the ruthless Elites, once the military leaders of the Covenant, from regrouping and threatening humankind again.
What began as a routine dirty-tricks operation - keeping the Elites busy with their own insurrection - turns into a desperate bid to extract one member of Kilo-Five from the seething heart of an alien civil war. But troubles never come singly for Kilo-Five. Colonial terrorism is once again surfacing on one of the worlds that survived the war against the Covenant, and the man behind it is much more than just a name to Spartan-010.
Meanwhile, the treasure trove of Forerunner technology recovered from the shield world of Onyx is being put to work while a kidnapped Elite plots vengeance on the humans he fears will bring his people to the brink of destruction.

"Sith Lady"
Would you listen to Halo: The Thursday War again? Why?Yes I would. I will do it to pick up all the little story threads that lead off into possible future story archs and those that fill in gaps about the back stories of several characters.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?Admiral Perengowski in particular piqued my interest. She is as bad as any Sith Lord that ever graced the pages of Karen's other novels. Karen dealt with the Elites nobility as well as anyone. They are truly noble within their culture and in battle.
Which character – as performed by Euan Morton – was your favorite?Admiral Perengowski, easily!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?Yes, I get upset by the constant use of "chinconi"! Next time how about a coversation with a GI before you record! It's CinC ONI (SINK ONI)! It is Commander in Chief, and is not an Italian word. I grate my teeth everytime he uses it. After 20 years of service, I find that I'm not so flexible on the lexicon.
Any additional comments?Quietly awaiting the next installment in the series. I could use a timelime to help bring things together for me.

"What was the Publisher thinking?"
The Editor for this book should not be in the position that they are in after having let this through to the public to be available for purchase. I should have read the Amazon and iBooks reviews, which skewered the book. Performance was well done, but the book appeared to have been very poorly written - with flits back and forth through time and scenes - with absolutely NOTHING holding everything together. It is almost like the author wrote random paragraphs in the Halo theme - and then submitted the book to the Editor who simply let it through without consideration to quality.
Or Karen Travis is a horrible Author and should never be allowed to write another Halo book. The Greg Bear books were amazing - and those were the only reason I bought this.
Dear Publisher: don't let Karen Traviss ever write a book again - PLEASE! Or let her write one, but just don't make people pay for it.
Sorry to sound crass - but Karen Traviss really had it coming. My teenaged daughters could have done a much better job.0 of 0 people found this review helpful -

"More Halo Story unfortunately from horrible author"
Is there anything you would change about this book?The author is terrible. I dont care what she wrote before or her supposed experience. Her books are the only Halo books I cannot read/listen to once. I only read them for the Halo story updates.
What do you think your next listen will be?Halo books from any other author
Would you be willing to try another one of Euan Morton’s performances?Narator does a good job. No problem with him.
Could you see Halo: The Thursday War being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?Not with the author.
Any additional comments?Bring back Eric Nylund!!!!
