About this audiobook
A Master Chief story and original full-length novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!
October 2559. It has been a year since the renegade artificial intelligence Cortana issued a galaxy-wide ultimatum, subjecting many worlds to martial law under the indomitable grip of her Forerunner weapons. Outside her view, the members of Blue Team—John-117, the Master Chief; Fred-104; Kelly-087; and Linda-058—are assigned from the UNSC Infinity to make a covert insertion onto the ravaged planet Reach.
Their former home and training ground—and the site of humanity’s most cataclysmic military defeat near the end of the Covenant War—Reach still hides myriad secrets after all these years. Blue Team’s mission is to penetrate the rubble-filled depths of CASTLE Base and recover top-secret assets locked away in Dr. Catherine Halsey’s abandoned laboratory—assets which may prove to be humanity’s last hope against Cortana.
But Reach has been invaded by a powerful and ruthless alien faction, who have their own reasons for being there. Establishing themselves as a vicious occupying force on the devastated planet, this enemy will soon transform Blue Team’s simple retrieval operation into a full-blown crisis. And with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance, mission failure is not an option…

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Overall story is good. Bridges the Gap between Halo 5 and Halo Wars 2. My biggest complaint is that the narrator sounds like Ben Shapiro when sped up so I had to listen to it at 1x speed, though I'm sure it won't bother most people.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Feels like those classic Halo novels that I read as a kid. I have to say that this is one of the most entertaining Halo stories that has come out in recent memory. I love that Blue Team is the focus, like they have been for the past couple of Troy Denning novels. But I also love that it acknowledges the events that have happened in other novels, such as the character of Veta Lopis and her interactions with Fred 104.
All in all 9.5/10, would read again and again.1 person found this helpful
