Halo: Last Light

HALO, Book 16

De: Troy Denning

Narrado por: Scott Brick

An original novel set in the Halo universe and based on the New York Times best-selling video game series!

It is 2553, and the three-decade long Covenant War that defined a generation has suddenly drawn to a close. Yet in the remotest parts of human space, tensions remain that threaten to overflow into another full-scale conflict. Beneath the surface of the planet Gao lies a vast cavern system renowned for its therapeutic effects and rumored miraculous cures. But now Gao natives are turning up brutally murdered down there - violent acts that happen to coincide with the recent arrival of a UNSC research battalion protected by Spartan Blue Team, led by the renowned Spartan-II Fred-104.

Maverick detective Veta Lopis of the Gao Ministry of Protection is only trying to do her job as the Special Inspector assigned to catch a serial killer - one who is possibly hiding within the Spartan ranks - but she never anticipates the situation spiraling out of control into an all-out crisis. When Gao is revealed to harbor ancient Forerunner technology that could solidify the UNSC's military supremacy for centuries to come, Insurrection loyalists within the planetary government will do anything - even align with a vicious faction of what remains of the Covenant - to ensure that never happens.

Great Book

Loved it, its so well written and easy to follow. If u love halo lore than u will love this

They should make thIs into a movie..

I honestly thought that while this had some bits lacking for all out action thIs has a better story then a lot of the games themselves.

Doubted it at first

Give it a few chapters. Fred’s character really gets fleshed out, and Veda lopis’s character becomes more and more interesting

Starts a little slow, but well worth the listen.

Scott Brick does another amazing Halo Narration. The beginning is a little tedious, but once the story goes outside the caves then it picks up drastically.

awesome book

great book that really goes into Freds story and the spartan 3s. if you liked any of those stories you'll love this one.

A different Read.

Great edition to the Halo Universe. Slow start but once your in its a great ride. Good to see some of the original Spartans getting the time they deserve.

Incredible

As with most books, it was a slow start. Lots of characters to learn.

But as the story went on, and the plot grew more intricate, the characters became more familiar and my interest only grew exponentially.

An amazing listen, and quite the incredible story teller!

narration

Another good halo story. But the narration left something to be desired with the lack of accents and differentiation of voice characteristics. Still good, but narration could be better.

One of the best halo books

I don’t care for the narrator. The way he talks sounds like he’s trying to make everything more dramatic than it is. But the story is easiest one of the best I’ve listened to. It starting out as a murder mystery was a nice change from the others set in war. Veta Lopis is a great addition to the universe, I can’t wait to read more about her. The Spartans were awesome, of course, and it was neat to see Fred in a leadership role. Add in a little bit of forerunner tech and that’s a damn good halo book. Easy 9/10 book.

I enjoyed the book.

It showed the Spartan 2s & 3s team work. And how forerunner A.I. work with humans.
