Synopsis

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

It has been six years since the end of the Covenant War...and yet on the planet Carrow, a world on the edge of the Joint Occupation Zone, a decisive new battle suddenly erupts. Human colonists and the alien Sangheili have already been living a tension-filled coexistence in this place, with Unified Earth Government envoy Melody Azikiwe attempting to broker a lasting peace between their two species. But as civil war now engulfs the Sangheili, Melody must act on an additional covert assignment courtesy of the Office of Naval Intelligence: free the SPARTAN-IIs known as Gray Team, held in stasis since the end of the war by a cunning Elite fleetmaster consumed with vengeance. And none can anticipate the ongoing violence leading to the discovery of an even greater, unstoppable threat—one hidden for eons below the surface of the planet...

Goodreads review by Brent on May 01, 2017

One of the best Halo novels since the original Bungie-era books. Admittedly it can be a tad predictable in a few places; pandering to the tried-and-true sci-fi tropes, but immensely enjoyable nonetheless. I'm also happy to report that if you've never read a Halo novel before, you absolutely can start......more

Goodreads review by Fred on January 05, 2018

As is usual with any book in the Halo series it's a book you just can't put down. Here we have three Spartan II's that have been in stasis for 6 years. Around the planet Carrow their is an uneasy co-existence between humanity and a remnant of the covenant forces. This is soon destroyed by an overzealou......more

There are few things I love more in life than a pleasant surprise. To boot: I wasn’t the biggest fan of Tobias Buckell’s first “Halo” novel, “The Cole Protocol” – to me, it was a classic case of “too much exposition, not enough heart.” As a result, I went into Buckell’s follow-up,” Halo: Envoy,” bas......more

Before reading this novel, I’d highly recommend reading Buckell’s short story in Halo Fractures, which functions as great prologue to this novel and its world. I never knew how much I wanted a post-apocalyptic or western themed Halo Novel before that. Envoy is a great read, but it doesn’t quite meet......more

Goodreads review by C.T. on September 12, 2018

War, peace, and the cycle of revenge is extensively discussed in this fantastic new addition to the Halo franchise. There's a war on an independent human world between the Elite and human settlers with three marooned Spartans caught up in the middle. Lots of great references to Halo Wars 2 and previ......more
