As kids, the three of them were inseparable; as soldiers, they would be torn apart. Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago fought alongside Dom’s elder brother Carlos at Aspho Fields in the epic battle that changed the course of the Pendulum Wars. There’s a new war to fight now, a war for mankind’s very survival. But while the last human stronghold on Sera braces itself for another onslaught from the Locust Horde, ghosts come back to haunt Marcus and Dom.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 80
It was the end of World War II. FDR's New Deal had redefined American politics. Taxes were at an all-time high. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had created a fear of total annihilation. The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business had many watching their backs. America's sense of freedom was diminishing... and many were desperate to take that freedom back.

The year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct and the half-destroyed cities have become uninhabitable through radiation. Beyond their boundaries, they say, lie endless burned-out deserts and the remains of splintered forests. Survivors still remember the past greatness of humankind, but the last remains of civilisation have already become a distant memory. Man has handed over stewardship of the earth to new life-forms.

When the Imperial prison barge Purge—temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy’s most ruthless killers, Rebels, scoundrels, and thieves—breaks down in a distant part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back—bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours, nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine.

Publisher's Summary
The best-selling adaptation of the iconic video game Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the Master Chief - part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series!
It's 2552. Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117 - the Master Chief - and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew’s only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground.
But they soon discover that this enigmatic ringworld is much more than it seems. Built 100,00 years ago by a long-lost civilization known as the Forerunners, this “Halo” is worshiped by the Covenant - a sacred artifact they hope will complete their religious quest for supposed transcendence, and they will stop at nothing to control it.
Engaging in fierce combat, Master Chief and Cortana will go deep into the Halo construct and uncover its dark secret and true purpose - even as a monstrous and far more vicious enemy than the Covenant emerges to threaten all sentient life on Halo and the galaxy beyond....

Narrator is the best!
The story is of that of the first Halo game in 2001. It was a good and interesting story on Xbox, and it's even more fleshed out here. It has a few extra subplots, and explains what happens to a few characters while Master Chief is fighting the Covenant and the Flood. I want to praise the narrator's performance, he did phenomenal work. He really brought the story to life and had great acting skills. I am actually going to buy another audiobook based solely on the fact that he narrated it.

A gamers perspective.
I've read the book multiple times and played the game for the past 20 years. An excellent read. Voice acting was mostly very well done however his performance of Cortana was a little too soft and lacked confidence. If I hadn't played the game I probably would've given 5 Stars. Very enjoyable indeed.

Best, Most Classic Halo Book
If you are looking for a book on the classic original Halo game, this is for you! Feel what it was like for Keyes to lose his mind, à parallel story on a commando elite who wants to see the master chief killed, and how even the Flood can make the Master Chief shiver...

Great sequel.
Book 2 is a perfect expansion of Halo lore. It perfectly captures my nostalgia for Halo: Combat Evolved while expanding on the lore in a brilliant detailed way. The introduction of The Flood as a species is done from multiple perspectives in excellent fashion. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has either read the first book or played through the video game series.

Amazing story, well spoken
I enjoyed this second reading in the Hall series much more than the first. although both are good, the voice acting is this has much more effort put into it, while the reader seems to understand 'how' characters are supposed to sound. and nails the tone of voice on them. very few strange pronunciations as well. only issue are a few plot holes that I noticed throughout.

Great book, narration is unnecessarily bad
I love this book. I listen to it non-stop for as long as I can. The issue I have is with the narration. Todd McLaren has a great voice, but some of the things he does incorrectly are such easy fixes that it screams laziness. This guy mispronounces EVERYTHING. How has no one told him how to pronounce words? It’s so infuriating to hear him butcher words that are so important like Mjolnir. Stuff that he should know like how it’s spartan ONE ONE SEVEN instead of one seventeen. If anyone who has played the game listened to his narration before it was released, every single problem could be fixed. That’s all it would have taken, one slightly competent reviewer to give some feedback.

The worst in the original Novels
This book fails to capture the imagination. It tries to be a direct copy of the events of the game while interjecting it’s own narratives to fill in the gap. The book does both of these things poorly in my opinion. Most of the original novels were Eric Nylund. This one was not. The writing was very sub par. It felt very scripted and didn’t explore very interesting Paths at any point. The fall of reach, first strike, contact harvest, and even the cole protocol were better than this book. Simply put, it’s wasted potential and boring. I would not recommend.

Repetitive and poor portrayal of characters
I didn’t like the dialogue of Master Chief. Swearing and chatty. Very uncharacteristic of the Chief.

a fantastic book, but the voice actor sold it
The voice actor in this book was single-handedly brilliant. Each character could be told apart, he added proper inflection and sounded genuine. Absolutely fantastic, 10/10 give it a listen mate.

Literallyvisualize the entire Halo CE campaign
Overall very good, slightly annoying that the reader still doesn't pronounce Mjolnir correctly but outside of that, very good read and very good acting with the voices. Definitely a must read for any Halo fan looking to see where the game started. also recommend listening to the first book for lore on Master Chief.

meh
while not as good as it's predecessor, it's entertaining enough I guess. certain plot points from the game are just completely boring, whereas the innovative narratives, such as that of the alien perspectives that go on their own missions, or the surviving humans fight to control their base, are much more enthralling. overall, the performance by the narrator is on par with the same as last time, although I wish he would pronounce 'rations' and 'Mjolnir' correctly.
