Halo: First Strike (3)
Description
The New York Times bestselling aftermath of Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the
Master Chief—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video
game series! 2552. The theocratic military alliance known as the Covenant is
showing no mercy as it continues to assault every human world it encounters,
but in the way lies humanity’s greatest champion, the super-soldier Spartan
John-117—the Master Chief. Together with his AI companion Cortana and the last
remaining Spartans, the galaxy-spanning fight rages on two fronts following
the destruction of the human military stronghold Reach by Covenant forces and
the mysterious artificial ringworld known as “Halo” at the hands of the Master
Chief. One faction—a squad of Spartans lead by Blue Team’s Fred-104 and
Kelly-087—is trapped on the glassed surface of Reach, the only planet they’ve
ever known as home. And beneath this ruined world, Dr. Catherine Halsey has
discovered an ancient secret…one that could alter the course of the war.
Meanwhile, the Master Chief and Cortana lead a second group toward a gathering
of Covenant warships, as the United Nations Space Command’s worst nightmare
has finally come true: the Covenant has discovered the location of Earth and
is forming a massive fleet to utterly destroy it, as well as all who oppose
the indomitable will of the Prophets… Read more
