Summary

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

2526. It has been more than a year since humanity first encountered the hostile military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant, and several weeks after the United Nations Space Command’s devastating counterattack of Operation: SILENT STORM was deemed an overwhelming success. The UNSC has put its faith in the hands of the Spartans, led by the legendary Master Chief, John-117: enhanced super-soldiers raised and trained from childhood via a clandestine black ops project to be living weapons. But the Covenant - enraged and fearful of their enemy’s unexpected strategies and prowess - is not taking its recent defeat lightly, and is now fully determined to eradicate humanity from existence, brutally overrunning the ill-fated planets of the Outer Colonies faster than retreats can be ordered. 

If the UNSC has any chance of stemming the tide of the war, the Master Chief and Blue Team must drop onto an empty, hellish world in order to capture a disabled Covenant frigate filled with valuable technology. It has all the makings of a trap, but the bait is far too tempting to ignore - and this tantalizing prize is being offered by a disgraced and vengeful Covenant fleetmaster, whose sole opportunity for redemption lies in extinguishing humanity’s only hope of survival....

7/10

Definitely worth a read if you're already an avid Halo fan, but I would reccomend Eric Nylund's original trilogy if you are looking to enter the world of Halo.

Slow, but still good

This one felt a little slower and dragged out longer than the other novels. However, it was still good and there was quite a few memorable moments.

Am ok read

Like any new halo book, Oblivion adds in several important characters that we have never heard of before or since. The plot seemed to take ages to get to the interesting parts, however, all halo media is good halo media (except Halo Nightfall)

Good story. Hard to follow at times.

I'll say the same as I did for the last in the series.
The Story was pretty interesting with a pretty well fleshed out character line up which made me want to keep listening.
My only real problem with this is that it can be difficult to follow what’s going on at times, this is mainly due to the fast pace of the battle scenes.

Good listen

It was a good story, I was happy to listen to it for hours at a time. I will have to go through it again as I probably missed some bits. But overall its a good listen.
