Resumen del Editor

The best-selling 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!

It's 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 100,00 years ago by a long-lost civilization known as the Forerunners, this “Halo” is worshiped 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....

Overall a book over the video game C.E.

i've played all the games before reading the books, and as i can say all are equally good, no title comes even near to giving you nastalgia like playing the game.

A wonderful novelization

A good listen. Having played the game prior helps visualize the events better as you listen along.

Only complaint is the narrator didn’t know how to pronounce “mjolnir” correctly.

narrator can't english gooder

the narrator doesn't know how to pronounc words properly..... great book bad narration. i love halo lore.

great story

There's a lot of things happening on Halo other than the events of Halo CE

Awesome symetry with Halo CE

Love the symetry between this and the first Halo game (Halo CE) and all the background stories.

a must for any fan

this is a must read if your a fan of the series blah blah blah

great book. botched performance sometimes

great story. I love the flow and the side story's you can't pick up when playing the game. it was hard to hear a lot of the acronyms and names be pronounced incorrectly (mjolnir, ONI, etc) but it wasn't too unbearable. 100% would reccomend

told the story the game never could

made the games story feel alot more finished alot better than the other books

great book and story telling style

loved how you get to see everyone's perspective not just the master chief's and it's much more in depth than halo combat evolved the game. at some points it was legitimately scary! just a great book i struggled to finish it because I didn't want it to end!

if you're a true halo fan this is for you

the book had me so intrigued and amazed every chapter. could imagine playing it as a kid. really hit the nostalgic itch i needed
