The second novel of the Kilo-Five Trilogy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Traviss—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series Halo!

2553. Welcome to humanity’s new war: silent, high stakes, and unseen. This is a life-or-death mission for the Office of Naval Intelligence’s black-ops team, Kilo-Five, which is tasked with preventing the ruthless Sangheili, once the military leaders of the alien alliance known as the Covenant, from regrouping and threatening humankind again. What began as a routine dirty-tricks operation—keeping the Sangheili occupied with their own insurrection—turns into a desperate bid to extract one member of Kilo-Five from the seething heart of a brutal civil war. But troubles never come singly for Kilo-Five. Colonial terrorism is once again surfacing on one of the human worlds that survived the war against the Covenant, and the man behind it is much more than just a name to Spartan Naomi-010. Meanwhile, the treasure trove of Forerunner technology recovered from the Forerunner shield world of Onyx is being put to work, even as a kidnapped Sangheili plots vengeance on the humans he fears will bring his people to the brink of destruction… Adventure Fiction Genre Fiction Military Science Fiction War

The narrator seemed to have gotten worse since the first book in the series. It feels like this book was recorded first and the narrator only really got into the characters in the last couple chapters.

I know this is a trilogy, but a lot of the characters don't feel like they experienced very much growth from the first book in my opinion.

Not as good as the first book

This is a great book and the narration is better than the first one in the series but It still isn’t great.

Same as last time. The narration leaves a lot to be desired

the moral push here is way too much even when it doesn't make sense which can be a bit annoying. Especially the whole sangheli morality and one member of the team in the face of overwhelming evidence of the contrary just reads off. other than that great book

great story lines with nothing left out but..

Book two of the Kilo-Five trilogy. This is an amazing Storyline with all kinds of neat stuff going on. gets you really into all the characters so you are invested in their goals and challenges. the main plot itself is really fun and interesting, while still allowing tons of other little adventures into the story. so you get a bunch of little challenges for each character to face and overcome giving you small stories and victories packed into the overarching plot. Everything stays accurate to the true Halo universe and time-line, even answering some questions along the way.

point is, its an amazing trilogy and this book is equally awesome just like the two other books of the series.

Amazing Story
