Publisher's Summary

The New York Times best-selling series based on the blockbuster Xbox® games!

While Spartans get all the glory, no soldier - not even the legendary Master Chief - wins a war on his own. Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck and his team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) played a major role in saving the Earth from all-out invasion at the end of the Covenant War - acts of bravery and ingenuity that did not go unnoticed by the United Nations Space Command.

Now, after many Spartans have been killed in battle, and the Master Chief is listed as MIA, the UNSC decides to create a new generation of Spartans to defend humanity from threats both outside and within. When they come to Buck with an extraordinary proposition, he is forced to make a life-altering decision. With the Covenant War finally over, is it time for him finally to retire to the sidelines for a life he could only dream about...or is he prepared to step up and become part of the military's new blood?

Well

A good portion of the book was just a drawn out recap of the video game ODST and the narrator was very dull but over all was pretty good

Changed my view on buck

I used to like buck then realized….god he’s such a simp like I know In the ODST game that him and Veronica had a thing but this book my god talk about just doing anything for a girl no matter how she treats you. Plus there isn’t much of what I like of halo this is mostly a romance during half the chapters

Perhaps the best Halo novel?

A shorter story for sure, but top notch writing and impeccable voice performance make this easily one my top Halo novels. Really enjoyed it. The story most of all was consise and and extremely well written.
