À propos de cet audio

USA Today best seller

A Master Chief story and original full-length novel set in the Halo universe - based on the New York Times best-selling 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....

I've always been a fan of the Halo Saga and trilogies and it allowed me to understand more of the expect it video game outlook on what to expect

this book is really good

This was a extremely well written book returning to an action packed, no holds bar fight like the original series!! combine that with the familiar blue team, a surprise visit from another favorite crew and the usual plucky resistance who this time don't come across like suicidal idiots (most of the time).

Only potential downside is that it does follow the halo formula which to a degree makes it predictable and yet despite that this book never disappoints.

Only genuine gripe for me was that Kelly was given a British accent...why?? but my annoyance dissipated as I became used to her speaking in the accent and ultimately I found myself wondering what it would sound like if she always had the heavy accent in the other audio books.

ultimately I stand by my ratings and heavily recommend this book to any halo fan!!

one of the best books since the original series!!

It's hard to make futurist supersoldiers with biomechanical augments feel vulnerable, but Troy Denning managed it very well.

A must have for any Halo fan.

I am a huge Halo fan and two of the best books written in the Halo franchise are by Troy Denning.
This book keeps you on your heels wondering what will happen next. Amazing writing. The things I personally enjoyed was that this book showed the Spartans are getting older, slower and can get hurt. This made the story feel more realistic (if you ignore the ability to travel light years to battle aliens). The things I really dislike in this book, is that this book deliberately had Halo Infinite content tossed in your face to promote the new game. I believe from what I have seen (what is one release of a small few minute clip) Halo Infinite look dumb and following trends. Grappling hooks looks like the dumbest thing I have ever seen added not to mention the new plasma gun, pistol, BR, graphics, ect. Both the plasma gun and grappling hook items make significant appearance in this book. it makes zero sense to have a winch and grappling hook some how on the Spartans wrists. First of all the size of one would be huge, even if you consider the rope/wire was as thin as a shoe string. A 15m long rope rolled up would be massive, even on a Spartan. this is the dumbest thing added to Halo after the Spartan 3 origins. Hook gone, bring back jump jets, especially when a massive part of the book is about the butes using jumo jets. This is not a Fast and the Furious.
Over all excluding the grappling hook and Halo Infinite promotion, this book is a thrilling read and I can not wait for the next one.

liked it, but did not love it

I loved this story from the halo universe and has gotten me more hyped for halo infinite. This is a master chief story and is almost always on him, the pacing was great and sets the book into three main arcs that are very enthralling. All characters are memorable and flush out very well and make you care about their well being and see what happens to them even if their minor characters. The performance was very good, takes a few chapters to get used to because we know what master chief sounds like, but after that it feels natural and the voices for the banished were spot on. Overall this was a fantastic halo story and highly recommend

Fantastic story and characters

I really liked this book, the story is all about blue team, if you a fan of the halo universe you'll love this book. This book is supposed to be the prelude to Halo infinite, and it does a good job a setting something up. Also lots of action, explosions and bullets , oh and of course John 117.

All Blue Team

I dont know exactly what it is but the last couple chapters felt weird both in their writing and naration.. I cant exactly say what it is but theres a weird change and its very noticable from that point on in the story, again I cant really say but it feels almost like the writer was forced to change his stories ending?

wasnt feeling the last couple chapters..

action packed, yet thoughtful. an enjoyable listen, which satisfies the need for action as well as a interesting exploration of Master Chief post halo first strike. an older more experienced super soldier trying to navigate his role and Legacy in a universe which relies upon him as its hero. also, tunnel cities made out of plasma glass, as well as explosive mud shafts. what's not love.

A great primer for Halo infinite
