Publisher's Summary
The second novel of the Forerunner Saga trilogy by science-fiction legend Greg Bear - set in the Halo universe and based on the New York Times best-selling video game series!
One hundred thousand years ago. In the wake of the apparent self-destruction of the alien Forerunner empire, two humans - Chakas and Riser - are like flotsam washed up on very strange shores indeed. Captured by the Forerunner known as the Master Builder and then misplaced during a furious battle in space, Chakas and Riser now find themselves on an inverted world where horizons rise into the sky and humans of all kinds are trapped in a perilous cycle of horror and neglect. They have become both research animals and strategic pawns in a cosmic game whose madness knows no end - a game of ancient vengeance between the powers who seeded the galaxy with life and the Forerunners who expect to inherit their sacred Mantle of Responsibility to all living things.
In the company of a young girl and an old man, Chakas begins an epic journey across a lost and damaged Halo ringworld in search of a way home, an explanation for the warrior spirits rising up within, and the reason for the Forerunner Librarian’s tampering with human destiny. Their travels will take them into the domain of a powerful and monstrous intelligence - known as “the Captive” by Forerunners and “the Primordial” by ancient human warriors, this being may not only control the fate of Chakas, Riser, and the rest of humanity, but of all sentient life across the galaxy....

Meh
regrettably I found the story boring. I had difficulty engaging and felt like this book was twice as long as it was. I thought the performance was very well done. The reader provides many strong vocal performances that fit with the first book.

Chakas :)
343 Guilty Spark Monitor of Installation 04 has always been one of my favorite characters since CE even though he did kill Johnson. ;/ The performance of this book was amazing! And the ending with Tim doing his 343 voice made me cry this saga is amazing! And it's a joy relieving it again in audio form.

favorite part was when chakas is hearing the story of forthencho.
it was a while since I listened but from what I remember the narrator was awesome, not like reach where the guy mispronounced Mjolnir

Can't stand the characters.
The characters were bearable as side characters in Cryptum, but an entire book about them got old, and uninteresting very quickly. I made it about halfway, and can't bring myself to finish.

get back to master chief please!
lots of confusing, boring moments with no real sense put into them. few but some moments of greatness. overall wish I could have skipped this book, or at least read an overview of key points needing to understand for next books.

Poor pacing
Timothy Dadabo works with the book wonderfully, but the pacing was very slow. I feel like the entire first half of the book was just the characters hiking through the halo trying to find food, and finally some fascinating lore got revealed over the last half. Overall still a good inclusion for the forerunner trilogy but it could have added more interesting events in the first half.

Struggled to Finish
The whole first part of the book was unnecessary. basically listen to the last 2 hours and you'll be good

Slow but good
The second of the forerunner saga, as with the first book it is very slow but very detail oriented. Helps explain the lore of the series with a large surprise in the last few minutes.

this one dragged on and on
I could not get behind this one at all. if you have to listen to it, listen to the last 2 hours and save yourself hours and hours of terrible story.

Skip even if you're a fan
So tedious. It's like the hobbits took a wrong turn and ended up in space.
