Halo: Silent Storm: A Master Chief Story (Halo Series, 23)

Description

An original full-length novel set in the Halo universe and based on the New
York Times bestselling video game series2526. It has been almost 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 super-soldiers 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 rebel 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
