Halo: Epitaph

Halo, Book 32

De: Kelly Gay

Narrado por: Keith Szarabajka

An original novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

Stripped of armor, might, and memory, the legendary Forerunner warrior known as the Didact was torn from the physical world following his destructive confrontation with the Master Chief and sent reeling into the mysterious depths of a seemingly endless desert wasteland. This once powerful and terrifying figure is now a shadow of his former self—gaunt, broken, desiccated, and alone. But this wasteland is not as barren as it seems. A blue light glints from a thin spire in the far distance…

Thus begins the Didact’s great journey—the final fate of one of the galaxy’s most enigmatic and pivotal figures.

The story of the Diadac and The Mantle

the story was good. the climax was disappointing. book left many things unexplained. what happened to Cortana for example?

The progressive and in depth view.

I really enjoyed how the story here played out. I like the in depth look into the domain and the dealings with the Didact, Cortana, and the Warden Eternal as well as the spirits too.

The Didact Returns

It was the best possible story and outcome for the story of Shadow of Sundered Star.

Getting the didact to voice himself

Another win for Kelly Gay. I wish they wouldn't have mentioned that awful comic, but oh well, the book was good

A good explanation for things that happened in between the reclaimer trilogy

Over this book was pretty good. I only wish that the book had 4-5 more chapters because it ended pretty fast. The ending was good though. Also, getting the didacts voice actor to narrate the book was a major plus!

wow that is fantastic!

wow that is fantastic. finally! some loose ends tied up! and more lore! why 343 can't you put this into the games! whyyyyy!

The evolution of the character

to have seen the Didact go from what he was to what he is now to have been cleansed by the domain get his proper ending chef's kiss beautiful

great tie ins

it's almost makes me think Halo infinite is pure crap instead of a dumpster fire of crap. Love the park and resolutions. ties in a lot of novels together and I appreciate that. having the Didact himself read it was incredible

Excellent Story

I loved everything about this book. The story was great, and the performance extremely well done. it was awesome hearing the voice of the Didact read the whole book. I loved how it expanded the lore on the Foreunners and tied into the Foreunner trilogy. It also helps to bridge the gap between Halo 5 and Infinite, which is great (and badly needed). Would recommend to any Halo fan.

Good ending to the Didact's tale

I hadn't realized this story would occur following 5 and before Infinite, but it's a solid addition to the canon. No major new insights into the world, but a good coda to Didact's story.
