Halo has been destroyed, and the threat it posed to sentient life, neutralized.
But victory has come at a terrible cost for the UNSC. Thousands of valiant soldiers
fell in the battle to prevent the alien construct from falling into the enemy’s
clutches.
Now, everything depends on the Spartan known as the “Master Chief.” Yet even with
the aid of the artificial intelligence Cortana, the Master Chief will be hard-pressed
to rescue survivors and evade the Covenant ships patrolling the remains of Halo
in debris-strewn space.
Ahead lies a dangerous voyage home, through a gauntlet of Covenant forces. For the
sake of all, the Master Chief and his war-torn squad must not only survive, but
take the fight to the enemy with a decisive first strike.
And so begins the latest Halo novel from author Eric Nylund - Halo: First Strike.
In addition to this new release, Eric Nylund has authored many other novels, including
A Signal Shattered, Signal to Noise, Pawn’s Dream, Dry Water (a World Fantasy Award
nominee), A Game of Universe, Crimson Skies, and Halo: The Fall of Reach, the official
prequel novelization of the Xbox game.
