Publisher's Summary

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

The 26th century. Once considered clandestine, the Spartan-II program has now gone public. Tales of armored supersoldiers fending off thousands of Covenant attacks have become the stuff of legend. While the Master Chief defends a besieged Earth and the myriad factions of the Covenant continue their crusade to eliminate humanity, an ultra-secret cell of the Office of Naval Intelligence known as “Section Three” devises a plan to buy the UNSC vital time. It will need hundreds of willing soldiers, though - and one more Spartan - to get the job done.

The planet Onyx is virtually abandoned and the perfect place to set this new plan in motion. But when the Master Chief destroys Halo, something is triggered deep within Onyx: Ancient Forerunner technology stirs, and fleets of UNSC and Covenant vessels race to claim it and change the course of the Human-Covenant War. But this reawakened and ancient force may have plans of its own....

Long Live the Ghosts of Onyx!

If you have played the Halo games and /or read any of the other previous books in the series, I highly recommend it to you! Even as a science fiction story taken out of context, it brings great reality to war, training and what combat experience could look like in the future 2500s. References to Band of Brothers, famous historical battles, and a strong sense of immersion helps to tell a heroic tale of what it means to be a Spartan.

Awesome!

I loved this. Not as great as the main ones with Master Chief as the MC but it was great nonetheless. I loved the characters Tom and Lucy and definitely Kurt, it’s actually a sad story of the Spartans going MIA but everyone knows they have a purpose and you can feel the main character group as a close team fighting against the covenant. I greatly enjoyed this audiobook it was so entertaining

A MUST READ FOR HALO FANS

LOVED THIS BOOK! After reading the first 3 Halo books this one has by far been my favourite. The emotions this book made me feel were real. Kurt is my favourite of the Spartans, even above John.

jirhalanae.... jirhalanae everywhere!

I love the story of this book! The performance is great too, but it does become irritating to hear the guy misspronounce "Jiralhanae" as "jirhalanae" about 300 times. Can't blame the narrator too much, someone should have realised... And to be fair the name is not pronounced in the games either.... So whatever. Still worth listening to

My favourite Halo book

Honestly this is easily my favourite of the Halo books. The characters are great, pacing is great (never too slow or rushing things), the story is really fun and engaging, taking place during the events of halo 2. The only thing hindering it is the narration, it isn’t bad by any means, but it also isn’t the greatest. Ghosts of Onyx is well worth the listen and is sure not to disappoint.
