Halo: Silent Storm: A Master Chief Story (24)
Description
A Master Chief story and original full-length novel set in the Halo
universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series! 2526. It
has been a year since humanity engaged in its destructive first contact with a
theocratic military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant. Now the
hostilities have led to open war, and the United Nations Space Command
understands virtually nothing about its new enemy. There are only two
certainties—the Covenant is determined to eradicate humanity, and they have
the superior technology to do just that. The UNSC’s only hope lies with the
Spartans: enhanced supersoldiers raised and trained from childhood via a
clandestine black ops project to be living weapons. Their designated
commander, Petty Officer John-117, has been assigned to lead the Spartans on a
desperate counterattack designed to rock the Covenant back on its heels, and
to buy humanity the time it needs to gather intelligence and prepare its
defenses. But not everyone wants the Spartans to succeed. A coalition of human
insurrectionist leaders believes an alliance with the Covenant to be its best
hope of finally winning independence from the Unified Earth Government. To
further their plans, the insurrectionists have dispatched a sleeper agent to
sabotage the UNSC counterattack—and ensure that John-117 and the Spartans
never return from battle…. Read more
