About this listen
The best-selling adaptation of the iconic video game Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the Master Chief - part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series!
It's 2552. Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117 - the Master Chief - and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew’s only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground.
But they soon discover that this enigmatic ringworld is much more than it seems. Built 100,00 years ago by a long-lost civilization known as the Forerunners, this “Halo” is worshiped by the Covenant - a sacred artifact they hope will complete their religious quest for supposed transcendence, and they will stop at nothing to control it.
Engaging in fierce combat, Master Chief and Cortana will go deep into the Halo construct and uncover its dark secret and true purpose - even as a monstrous and far more vicious enemy than the Covenant emerges to threaten all sentient life on Halo and the galaxy beyond....

It was the end of World War II. FDR's New Deal had redefined American politics. Taxes were at an all-time high. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had created a fear of total annihilation. The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business had many watching their backs. America's sense of freedom was diminishing... and many were desperate to take that freedom back.

Amazing story, well spoken
I enjoyed this second reading in the Hall series much more than the first. although both are good, the voice acting is this has much more effort put into it, while the reader seems to understand 'how' characters are supposed to sound. and nails the tone of voice on them. very few strange pronunciations as well. only issue are a few plot holes that I noticed throughout.

A gamers perspective.
I've read the book multiple times and played the game for the past 20 years. An excellent read. Voice acting was mostly very well done however his performance of Cortana was a little too soft and lacked confidence. If I hadn't played the game I probably would've given 5 Stars. Very enjoyable indeed.

Best, Most Classic Halo Book
If you are looking for a book on the classic original Halo game, this is for you! Feel what it was like for Keyes to lose his mind, à parallel story on a commando elite who wants to see the master chief killed, and how even the Flood can make the Master Chief shiver...

Great sequel.
Book 2 is a perfect expansion of Halo lore. It perfectly captures my nostalgia for Halo: Combat Evolved while expanding on the lore in a brilliant detailed way. The introduction of The Flood as a species is done from multiple perspectives in excellent fashion. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has either read the first book or played through the video game series.

Narrator is the best!
The story is of that of the first Halo game in 2001. It was a good and interesting story on Xbox, and it's even more fleshed out here. It has a few extra subplots, and explains what happens to a few characters while Master Chief is fighting the Covenant and the Flood. I want to praise the narrator's performance, he did phenomenal work. He really brought the story to life and had great acting skills. I am actually going to buy another audiobook based solely on the fact that he narrated it.

Pronunciation
The preformance was good, however, the pronunciation of some of the acronyms, such as H.U.D or O.N.I, was been said as if it were a word like Hud or Oni in the games. and since the books are based on the games. It only makes sense to stay consistent with the source material.
other than the acronym pronunciation, the plot and preformance were excellent. A solid 4/5 stars.
