Publisher's Summary

USA TODAY BESTSELLER

An original novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

A HALO INFINITE STORY

December 2559. Humanity has its back against the wall after the United Nations Space Command flagship Infinity drops out of slipspace into a devastating ambush launched by the Banished. As this fierce enemy alliance seeks to claim a mysterious object hidden within the ancient Forerunner construct known as Zeta Halo, the surviving UNSC corps finds itself compromised and its leadership out of reach—with remaining personnel forced to abandon ship and take their chances on the fractured, unpredictable surface of the Halo ring.

Now survival in this strange, alien environment—whether for Spartan super-soldiers or those who never thought they would see the battle up close—is measured day to day against a relentless and brutal adversary that always has the upper hand. Desperation grows, but the will to keep on fighting and enduring no matter the odds is never in doubt…even as the Banished seek to unleash a frightening new enemy that could doom them all…

Excellent book and narration

Another fantastic story by Kelly Gay and excellent performance by Scott Brick. Rubicon Protocol gives plenty of insight regarding Halo Infinite.

excellent must read Prequel to Infinite!

This book provides soo much needed back story for the events on Zeta Halo! some of it is in audio logs ingame but this really fleshes the whole thing out! I would loge more stories following this group!! or maybe a Game DLC tie in. but all in all these writers never drop the ball when writing Halo! maybe they should be writing for the game!

Interesting

The story fills some gaps from between Halo 5 and Infinite, the story is very compelling and its nice to finally have some other Spartans and soldiers in the stories! But in the end, it lands as irrelevant for the game as nothing of that really matters

Doesn't really answer questions

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this book. Good story, compelling characters, satisfying outcome. But it was billed as answering the questions about what happened on zeta while the chief was napping, and while it does tell a story about what happened during that time, none of our real questions are answered. Still don't know what happened to Lasky, Palmer, the Infinity, or Blue Team.
Worth the listen, just don't expect it to give you any of the answers you actually want.

No More Scott Brick please!

I enjoyed the book and as always Kelly Gay did a good job with the writing. My primary issue is that Scott Brick has worm out his welcome in Halo audio books. He was incredible for Veta Lopez and Buck, but that's his entire vocal range. For a story with multiple perspectives and a variety of characters the monotone seriousness that Brick brings to the table just doesn't work in my opinion.
