Summary

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

It's 2526. 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....

Masterpiece!

Action, suspense, emotion, it has everything! Truly a masterpiece, and honestly it's probably better than a lot of what is aired on todays television.

Denning Captures Spirit of Halo

Troy Denning has captured the spirit of Halo with Silent Storm, penning a (relatively) hard sci-fi, military story.

The story is told primarily through Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson, two famous characters from the universe that Denning portrays with accuracy and flair, while adding to both characters and their relationship dynamic.

Meanwhile, the use of some Covenant characters adds to the narrative effectively.

Back to Blue Team baby!

Silent Storm is a thoroughly enjoyable romp which centres around blue team in their early missions as 15-year-old teens.

Happily, this book brings us back to a more coherent and familiar story centred around the main cast of Spartans in Blue Team. Sergeant Johnson is integral to the cast, which is also an absolute delight as a fan of the series!

This book doesn't reach highs brought to life by the legendary author Eric Nylund (Fall of Reach, Ghosts of Onyx) but it's a welcome palette cleanser after the confusing mess/saga from Greg Bear.

Recommended!
