Halo: Broken Circle

De: John Shirley

Narrado por: Scott Brick

For fans of the Halo games and readers of military science-fiction and alien-culture sagas, Halo: Broken Circle dives deep into Forerunner technology, elite honor codes, and the secret dawn of one of the Halo universe’s greatest conflicts.

Centuries before the Human-Covenant War would rage across the galaxy, a similar conflict erupted between the Prophets and the Elites—two alien races at odds over the sacred artifacts left by the powerful Forerunners, who disappeared eons ago. Although they would eventually form a stable alliance called the Covenant, there are those on both sides who question this fateful union. From an Elite splinter group rebelling against the Covenant during the time of its founding...to a brave Prophet caught in the machinations of the new leadership...to the root of the betrayal that would ultimately shatter the Covenant many years later, this is the untold chapter of the most unexpected heroes emerging from a realm filled with shocking treachery and ceaseless wonder.

female voicing is a tad confusing

female voice overs are a tad hit and miss, I often thought it was another character talking.

Pretty good book

as a lore fan, I was happy to get another book. but this one isn't exactly must read. it had a good story and is worth reading for the hardcore fan. but has no bearing on the halo games. or in game universe.

Simply amazing

I loved how this book takes place before everything begins. Shows the rationale in thoughts of the covenant just as it is for me, almost gives you perspective in the covenant.

Another great book

Loved to different aspect this story had; understanding the Covenant and their intentions. Great book.

too many characters

there's a ton of characters which makes it difficult to follow by ear. but still good story.

fan fucking tastic

it's a great one off story that doesn't require you to be knowledgeable about what's happened in other Halo novels

Great Story! Great performance!

I really enjoyed this book. I didn't want to stop listening and even though im not usually a fan of the covenant story line it was actually very good. Would recommend to any Halo fan!

more halo please

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

yes because i read all halo books

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

more on separation of elites

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

he is the best hands down

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

yes

Any additional comments?

more master chief please

loved it

The deep dive into the Covenants rise and fall was outstanding, even more so the story of the shield world made me feel much more empathetic for the elites and everything they went through.. such a great read

A really good change of pace

This was pretty awesome. The way it was planned came out as a really good change from the other books. Like a history lesson that ties in with the rest of the series.
