About this audiobook

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

August 2558. Rion Forge was once defined by her relentless quest for hope amidst the refuse and wreckage of a post-Covenant War galaxy—years spent searching for family as much as fortune. But that was before Rion and the crew of her salvager ship Ace of Spades encountered a powerful yet tragic being who forever altered their lives. This remnant from eons past, when the Forerunners once thrived, brought with it a revelation of ancient machinations and a shocking, brutal history. Unfortunately, the Ace crew also made dire enemies of the Office of Naval Intelligence in the process, with the constant threat of capture and incarceration a very real possibility. Now with tensions mounting and ONI forces closing in, Rion and her companions commit to this being’s very personal mission, unlocking untold secrets and even deadlier threats that have been hidden away for centuries from an unsuspecting universe....

Ratings and reviews

the overall voice performance is by far breathtaking and considerably more in depth bringing the book that more alive enjoying the universe that this franchise has brought as if I was watching a movie or playing the game! it was easy to follow along page by page being able to differentiate the characters giving each their own personality and tone was quite remarkable. Now having the insight of what happened to spark after Halo 3 and seeing the outcome before Halo 4 gives better context to the franchise while enjoying a different side of this was an experience!

The narrators voice sounds off .It is not right for the book. The first 5 minutes is downfight boring.

One of the best Halo books yet.
