Publisher's summary

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

It's 2526. It has been almost a year since humanity engaged in its destructive first contact with a theocratic military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant. Now, the hostilities have led to open war, and the United Nations Space Command understands virtually nothing about its new enemy. There are only two certainties - the Covenant is determined to eradicate humanity, and they have the superior technology to do just that. The UNSC’s only hope lies with the Spartans: enhanced super-soldiers trained from childhood via a clandestine black-ops project to be living weapons. Their designated commander, Petty Officer John-117, has been assigned to lead the Spartans on a desperate counterattack designed to rock the Covenant back on its heels and to buy humanity the time it needs to gather intelligence and prepare its defenses.

But not everyone wants the Spartans to succeed. A coalition of human rebel leaders believes an alliance with the Covenant to be its best hope of finally winning independence from the Unified Earth Government. To further their plans, the insurrectionists have dispatched a sleeper agent to sabotage the UNSC counterattack - and ensure that John-117 and the Spartans never return from battle....

A true listening pleasure, fast and fury filled.

A great back story prequil, with enough action to savor. Interesting and captivating Halo story.

Fantastic story

The story was great and details on what went on during missions really paint a picture! Most of the story’s are stellar but this was absolutely perfect.

Better than I expected.

I thought this might be a throwaway story since it's set in 2526. But it was really good once it got going. Still manages to maintain tension even though you know where almost all the characters go after this point. And adds very nice character development for most of them. Not required reading, but I'd recommend it if you just want a fun story.

Halo

Good book it was interesting to hear about the early days of the Spartans and specifically Johns struggle in eating his place, and as well as Avery Johnson connecting with the Spartans. I enjoy and would recommend this book.
