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… Adventure Fiction Genre Fiction Military Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-Ins Science Fiction War Technology

The set up of Jul’Mdama is amazing and really adds to his character. I love watching Humanity develop, discover new technologies, and implement them as it really makes the world feel alive. I love how Humanity and Alien cultures are so different even on a fundamental level, it’s just not something that is often portrayed well it sci-fi. I have heard some complain about this trilogies inconsistencies with the main-line cannon, but I do really enjoy this story regardless.

A great story and a great set up for a villain

This is by far the best Halo book I have ever read. The story and voice acting is perfection.
