Halo: The Thursday War Volume 9

De: Karen Traviss

Narrado por: Euan Morton

The second novel of the Kilo-Five Trilogy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Traviss—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series Halo!

2553. Welcome to humanity’s new war: silent, high stakes, and unseen. This is a life-or-death mission for the Office of Naval Intelligence’s black-ops team, Kilo-Five, which is tasked with preventing the ruthless Sangheili, once the military leaders of the alien alliance known as the Covenant, from regrouping and threatening humankind again. What began as a routine dirty-tricks operation—keeping the Sangheili occupied with their own insurrection—turns into a desperate bid to extract one member of Kilo-Five from the seething heart of a brutal civil war. But troubles never come singly for Kilo-Five. Colonial terrorism is once again surfacing on one of the human worlds that survived the war against the Covenant, and the man behind it is much more than just a name to Spartan Naomi-010. Meanwhile, the treasure trove of Forerunner technology recovered from the Forerunner shield world of Onyx is being put to work, even as a kidnapped Sangheili plots vengeance on the humans he fears will bring his people to the brink of destruction…

Halo is a suprisingly adult sci-fi series

I'm greatly enjoying this Kilo 5 trilogy. It fills in some gaps in the story line, and Thursday War in particular gives the Forerunners a new mysterious flare. I've always been unsatisfied with the plot jump between Halo 3 and 4. Great audio performance too, and definitely leaves you ready to dive into the next book.

This was a genuinely good trilogy

I purely loved this book let alone the other 2 that go with it. It is one of the more enjoyable set of books to the halo series. I’ve been a fan of halo since 2001 and think this book does a great job at telling more post war info and I feel like it’s very well written

Absolutely excellent from beginning to end.

literally my ONLY complaint, and it's minor, is the narrator's insistence on eliminating the letter "g" from words such as "strength" and "length". i know it's petty, but every time he says "strenth" or "lenth", it takes me out of the story for just a moment. It's a pet peeve. Otherwise excellent performance.

An amazing story

Karen Traviss does it again with an action packed story with very enjoyable characters and character development. The narrator euan Morton really improved in this book and helped make me feel so much more invested in these characters and I loved it! Looking forward to more stories involving these two!

Good

It's good and interesting. A good addition to the hall universe. I would recommend this.
