Halo: The Fall of Reach

By: Eric Nylund

Narrated by: Todd McLaren

The New York Times bestselling origin story of the Master Chief—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series Halo!

The 26th century. Humanity has expanded beyond Earth’s system to hundreds of planets that colonists now call home. But the United Earth Government and the United Nations Space Command is struggling to control this vast empire. After exhausting all strategies to keep seething colonial insurrections from exploding into a full-blown interplanetary civil war, the UNSC has one last hope. At the Office of Naval Intelligence, Dr. Catherine Halsey has been hard at work on a top-secret program that could bring an end to the conflict…and it starts with seventy-five children, among them a six-year-old boy named John. And Halsey could never guess that this child will eventually become the final hope against an even greater peril engulfing the galaxy—the inexorable confrontation with a theocratic military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant.

This is the electrifying origin story of Spartan John-117—the Master Chief—and of his legendary, unstoppable heroism in leading the resistance against humanity’s possible extinction.

Love the story!

Fantastic story, but why on earth is it so painful to hear them butcher the word "Mjolnir"over and and over again.

HALO is awesome but they mispronounced Mjolnir

I really liked the story and HALO is filled with such cool lore, but the reader mispronounced some important HALO related words and also didn't pronounce some other words right. Other than that 10/10

Masterpiece ruined by narrator.

Whoever hired this narrator needs the s**t kicked out of them. Do yourself a favor and just read the book.

bHJhaHFUCGIN MASTER CHEFN

If only the games were at all like the vooks anymore. A bit slow but dope

Reader's voices were off

Great story of the upbringing of the master chief. The readers voices for the characters was offputting.
