Summary

An original full-length novel set in the Halo universe and based on the New York Times best-selling video game series!

Molly Patel was only seven years old when the alien alliance known as the Covenant destroyed her homeworld and killed her family. As one of the few to escape the glassing of Paris IV, and despite the United Nations Space Command winning the war on behalf of humanity, Molly never forgot how much she had lost.

Nine years later, when her adoptive parents - research scientists specializing in ancient Forerunner technology - are called to the mysterious and wondrous place known as Onyx, Molly vehemently objects. It's not so much that Molly's concerned about relocating to inside a spherical construct the diameter of an entire solar system but the fact that she also has to live alongside members of the same alien species that murdered her family. And when the Servants of the Abiding Truth - a violent ex-Covenant sect under the guidance of the notorious Pale Blade - somehow makes its way inside this supposedly impregnable sphere, Molly is now forced to consider if she and her new parents have made a terrible and fatal mistake in coming here....

view point's of the galaxy didn't know i wanted

a superb book, from the view point of a teenage girl who is coming to terms with the events of the war and it's aftermath, a story from a view that i didn't know i wanted but loved it, it's relatable as well

A very interesting new perspective to the Halo universe

Honestly I was surprised by the direction took in the story but it was a pleasant surprise all the same .

Again Scott Bricks performance was phenomenal as always breathing life in to all the characters with respect and brilliance.

And Matt Forebeck creating new and interesting ways to look at the halo universe adding significant flavour to an already beloved franchise.

Phenomenal work as always :)

A great return to Onyx and Civillian perspectives.

This book is a great listen. One of the first halo books with a good sense of humour that puts u following children as they try to get along with each other in multi-species school. With interesting lore into the Guardians from halo 5 this book has got something for everyone, especially after the death of Jul'Mdama in halo 5.

civilian perspective in the halo universe

it's a good book it adds new perspectives to the halo universe. you get to see more about the grunts and the elites which is nice and the overall story is good. also great voice acting

its not on the level of the kilo five series but it's a good halo book none the less. recommended

Amazing action packed story from a diverse species perspective!

As always the performance just keeps getter better with each book! This story is one of the first to really dive into multispecies perspective and put teenage kids as the hero's of an epic action packed adventure!

Amazing

An amazing continuation of the Halo narrative through the events of Halo 5, including the stories of Spartans Tom and Lucy and the Servants of the Abiding Truth. An uplifting look at the lives of civilians from both UNSC and Covenant following the end of the war.

Nice tie in

Really fun to hear about familiar things from the games but in a total different setting. The book give the the perspective of the every day citizens of the galaxy in their day to day lives and The challanges and problems they face. We can't all be Spartans now can we?

Narrator Scott Brick is brilliant as usual!

One of my favourites so far!

This book is so well written and as usual Scott Brick does a fantastic job at narrating it.

I loved that we finally got to see where the M’Dama storyline ended up and it’s always nice to hear about Onyx!
