    About this audiobook

    The New York Times bestseller—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series Halo!

    2524. Harvest is a peaceful, prosperous farming colony on the very edge of human-controlled space. But humanity has unknowingly trespassed on holy ground—straying into the path of the aggressive, theocratic empire known as the Covenant. What begins as a chance encounter between an alien privateer and a human freighter soon catapults all of mankind into a struggle for its very existence.

    But humanity is also currently locked in a bitter civil war of its own: the Insurrection. With resources strained to the breaking point, the ultimate survival of Harvest’s citizens falls to a squad of battle-weary UNSC Marines and their inexperienced colonial militia trainees. In this unlikely group of heroes, one will stand above the rest—a young Marine staff sergeant named Avery Johnson....

      A nice book! The duo doing the voice overs did a great job. The story itself was nice to listen to, see the perspective of regular foot soldiers like Johnson. Would definitely recommend reading!

      This is the best story in the series so far, in my opinion. The writing is better, more descriptive and better paced.
