It's 2553. Welcome to humanity’s new war: silent, high-stakes, and unseen. This is a life-or-death mission for the Office of Naval Intelligence’s black-ops team, Kilo-Five, which is tasked with preventing the ruthless Sangheili, once the military leaders of the alien alliance known as the Covenant, from regrouping and threatening humankind again. What began as a routine dirty-tricks operation - keeping the Sangheili occupied with their own insurrection - turns into a desperate bid to extract one member of Kilo-Five from the seething heart of a brutal civil war.

Scott Brick = Terrible Casting Choice
What would have made Halo: Broken Circle better?
Shifting the focus of the story to a more comprehensive history of the Covenant with less emphasis on the Elites on the Shield World.
How could the performance have been better?
Scott Brick could have put more work into giving each character a distinct voice and putting more energy into dramatic scenes. He made each character sound the same and thus made the dialogue hard to follow at many points. He also lacked the ability to give dramatic sequences tension. He basically read the book in one sitting without putting any effort into making the reading engaging to the listener.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
The narrator bored me to the point where it was a chore to finish the book.
Any additional comments?
Narration is important in audio. When you hire a narrator, he needs to have a large range and the ability to sound like more than one person. If I didn't know who Scott Brick was, I would have thought that this was his first audiobook.

Best Halo book since The Fall of Reach
This is an absolutely must read for any Halo enthusiast, I loved every moment of this book. It tells an amazing story from the perspective of the Covenant and gives you a true understanding of their culture and how they came to be.
I'm a big fan of stories that span over a long periods of time. This story does a fantastic job of giving you an understanding of time and the impact it has on civilizations.
The narrator was absolutely incredible! He does amazing job with the voices of characters. His narration of the Sanshayum and even the Sanghelli could not of been a more perfect and just absorbs you into the story even more.
I hope he continues to he the narrator on all Halo titles going forward.

Seriously! Who actually likes Scott Brick?
What did you love best about Halo: Broken Circle?
The story was good.
Would you be willing to try another one of Scott Brick’s performances?
I am already committed to the halo book series. So unfortunately I will be forced to endure
more of Scott Bricks horrible voice.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No! there is no possible way on earth I could listen to Scott Brick on one sitting with out stabbing myself in the ears with burning coat hanger.
Any additional comments?

Interestingly Slow
This book is interesting in that you get a view into the Aliens world but the action is slow and boring usually, Its a good listen but different from the other Halo Books. It jumps around to much and the names can get confused a few times I found myself going back a couple of minutes to re-listen to something because I forgot who was who. I feel like it spent to much time in the past of Halo Covenant history then it did explaining some of the more recent events. Overall not bad but different. Seemed overly vague.

Lots of Covenant story
This book covers alot more Covenant issues than any of book with a more internal look. very confusing coming into this book thinking its chronological but sadly it isn't, takes place before meeting the humans then changes to ending of Halo 2
