2526. It has been more than a year since humanity first encountered the hostile military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant, and several weeks after the United Nations Space Command’s devastating counterattack of Operation: SILENT STORM was deemed an overwhelming success. The UNSC has put its faith in the hands of the Spartans, led by the legendary Master Chief, John-117: enhanced super-soldiers raised and trained from childhood via a clandestine black ops project to be living weapons.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 185
Saskia, Dorian, Evie, and Victor aren't exactly friends at their small high school on the middle-of-nowhere colony world of Meridian. Each has their own problems, from absent parents to supporting their family, getting into a good college to making the next hit holo-film. But those problems were nothing next to the threat now facing their world: The alien alliance known as the Covenant is laying siege to Meridian. With their village in flames, the four teens find themselves stuck aboveground, locked out of the town shelter where the rest of the survivors are gathered.

It was the end of World War II. FDR's New Deal had redefined American politics. Taxes were at an all-time high. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had created a fear of total annihilation. The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business had many watching their backs. America's sense of freedom was diminishing... and many were desperate to take that freedom back.

Publisher's Summary
An all-new digital single - part of the New York Times best-selling series based on the blockbuster Xbox games!
The military-grade artificial intelligence known as Iona has only one week to live. After that the UNSC will legally terminate her seven-year existence in order to stave off the threat of the data corruption phenomenon known as "rampancy", a condition that will eventually take hold of her functionality and persona, endangering all those around her. In a last-ditch effort to save herself, Iona has successfully launched an unprecedented legal appeal against her own death sentence - a case being watched very closely not only at the highest levels of human government but by others with a very different agenda....

Last 8 minutes is profound.
If you are a fan, truly a fan this story will bring on so many emotions. While the book is short the narrative involved is vast. The subject matter encompasses an issue as grave to mankind as the atomic bomb and guided missiles. That being Artificial Intelligence becoming self aware and machine consciousness.
On the fictional story side of things I found this novelette to be not only compelling but also a great listen. The narrator is a favorite. As a Halo junkie I couldn't wait to listen to it. Evidence put forth during the hearing.( which is the entirety of the book) for me proves that the UNSC and ONI needs to forgive Dr Catherine Halsey and stop using her as the scapegoat for all the ills of the war. Her work and theories saved mankind. The last 8 minutes of the story had me cheering however too many spoilers to go into details.
All said this is another great Halo listen With a mix of social commentary

Astoundingly Beautiful
Can’t believe I just now got to this gem of a story. THIS is how Halo content should feel. Breathtaking wonder and descriptions. Beautiful thoughts and moral guidance. I disliked nothing. Loved the delivery of this story. Scott Brick is so great for the audio versions. I have read so many Halo titles and can’t believe I’m just getting to this one. I want to see more of this approach in my Halo universe!!!

This is a must read for anyone who has ever given a considerable amount of thought into how we should treat and classify sentient AI that will be developed in the future. I personally hope that some day we can live as equals with these amazing artificial beings.

Being able to know what a rampant A.I. and how the UNSC handles cases gives inside look if an A.I. could be able to be saved.

Almost a perfect side-story to the Halo franchise!
What made the experience of listening to Saint's Testimony the most enjoyable?
The narration is top-notch. It elevates the book to a standard that it shouldn't be at.
What other book might you compare Saint's Testimony to and why?
This book echoes the cut scenes of a Halo video game.
What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?
Scott does a wonderful job on the different voices. It is easy to track who is who.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. It is great for a jog or bike ride. Perfect for an in-between read.
Any additional comments?
This book does not stand alone. It is best understood after completing previous Halo books like Fall of Reach, The Flood, First Strike, Ghosts of Onyx, etc.

It begins slow and by the middle you want to give up but by the end it gives you a satisfying ending. Makes you think about rights and philosophy centered around what makes us human.

I would have been happy with the short run time if it had been a good narrative. This just felt like some anegdotes and part of a unfinished bigger story. Very disappointed.

AI plotline for Halo 5 grows
The AI in halo have always been well fleshed out characters, intellectually, philosophically and creatively. this story expands on the mortality of the AI characters and how they're evolving socially and philosophically in their own mortality and in relation to their human origins and creators, leading into the Halo 5 plotline curiously and well.
