Description:
Halo: Hunters in the Dark
It
is 2555, more than two years after the Master Chief went
missing-in-action following a decisive conflict on Installation 00―the
massive, extragalactic Forerunner construct known as the Ark―as part of
the final chapter in humanity’s bloody thirty-year struggle against the
overwhelming forces of the Covenant. Now, as a tenuous peace exists
between the humans and the Elites, a startling scientific discovery is
made…and the riddle behind its Forerunner origins could very well seal
the fate of the entire galaxy within a matter of weeks. In order to
unravel these dangerous secrets, a heroic, hastily formed coalition of
humans and Elites must attempt to overcome their differences as they
embark on a covert mission back to the Ark―an astonishing, enigmatic
place beyond comprehension from which few have returned and where mortal
danger awaits them all…
Halo: Last Light
It
is 2553, and the three-decade-long Covenant War that defined a
generation has suddenly drawn to a close. Yet in the remotest parts of
human space, tensions remain that threaten to overflow into another
full-scale conflict. Beneath the surface of the planet Gao lies a vast
cavern system renowned for its therapeutic effects and rumored
miraculous cures. But now Gao natives are turning up brutally murdered
down there - violent acts that happen to coincide with the recent
arrival of a UNSC research battalion protected by Spartan Blue Team, led
by the renowned Spartan-II Fred-104.
Maverick
detective Veta Lopis of the Gao Ministry of Protection is only trying
to do her job as the Special Inspector assigned to catch a serial killer
- one who is possibly hiding within the Spartan ranks - but she never
anticipates the situation spiralling out of control into an all-out
crisis. When Gao is revealed to harbor ancient Forerunner technology
that could solidify the UNSC's military supremacy for centuries to come,
Insurrection loyalists within the planetary government will do anything
-even align with a vicious faction of what remains of the Covenant - to
ensure that never happens. . . .
Halo: New Blood
While
Spartans get all the glory, no soldier―not even the legendary Master
Chief―wins a war on his own. Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck and his team
of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) played a major role in saving
Earth from all-out invasion at the end of the Covenant War―acts of
bravery and ingenuity that did not go unnoticed by the United Nations
Space Command.
Now,
after many Spartans have been killed in battle and the Master Chief is
listed as MIA, the UNSC decides to create a new generation of Spartans
to defend humanity from threats both outside―and within. When they come
to Buck with an extraordinary proposition, he is forced to make a
life-altering decision. With the Covenant War finally over, is it time
for him to retire to the sidelines for a life he could only dream
about…or is he prepared to step up and become part of the military’s new
blood?
Halo: Envoy
It
has been six years since the end of the Covenant War . . . and yet on
the planet Carrow, a world on the edge of the Joint Occupation Zone, a
decisive new battle suddenly erupts. Human colonists and the alien
Sangheili have already been living a tension-filled coexistence in this
place, with Unified Earth Government envoy Melody Azikiwe attempting to
broker a lasting peace between their two species. But as civil war now
engulfs the Sangheili, Melody must act on an additional covert
assignment courtesy of the Office of Naval Intelligence: free the
Spartan-IIs known as Gray Team, held in stasis since the end of the war
by a cunning Elite fleetmaster consumed with vengeance. And none can
anticipate the ongoing violence leading to the discovery of an even
greater, unstoppable threat one hidden for eons below the surface of the
planet. . . .
Halo: Retribution
December
2553. Less than a year after the end of the Covenant War, a string of
violent incidents continues to threaten the tenuous peace in human-held
space ... culminating in the assassination of UNSC fleet admiral
Graselyn Tuwa and the abduction of her family. It is a provocation so
outrageous that the Office of Naval Intelligence must retaliate swiftly
and ferociously but only after its operatives identify her killer and
rescue the hostages.
This
mission will be the first for homicide-detective-turned-ONIoperative
Veta Lopis and her young team of Spartan-IIIs, and something feels wrong
from the start. The obvious suspect is an infamous Brute who leads the
Keepers of the One Freedom, an ex-Covenant splinter group in fierce
opposition to the UNSC. But Lopis and her team soon realize that the
truth is much more insidious than they could ever have imagined, and
with Fred-104, Kelly-087, and Linda-058 of Blue Team for combat support,
they must stop a plan hatched in the bowels of the secret research
station Argent Moon a plan so sinister it could destroy all those still
reeling from thirty years of intergalactic conflict ...
Halo: Smoke and Shadow
Find.
Claim. Profit. In a post-war galaxy littered with scrap, it s the
salvager s motto. And with a fast ship and a lust for adventure, Rion
Forge has certainly made her mark on the trade. When the discovery of a
wrecked UNSC cruiser brings Rion's past back to haunt her, stirring
fresh hope into a decades-old wound, she s hell-bent on finding answers:
What really happened to her father and his ship, the Spirit of Fire?
Halo: Bad Blood
Just
hours following their climactic battle on the Forerunner planet
Genesis, the Spartans of Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris find themselves
running for their lives from the malevolent machinations of the
now-renegade artificial intelligence Cortana. But even as they attempt
to stay one step ahead, trouble seems to find Spartan Edward Buck no
matter where he turns.
A
secret mission enacted by the Office of Naval Intelligence could
possibly help turn the tide, and has Buck reluctantly agreeing to reform
his old team, Alpha-Nine. Because if the band is really getting back
together for this one, that means everybody-including the Spartan who
Buck never wants to see again, the one who committed the ultimate
betrayal of trust…
Halo: Renegades
Find.
Claim. Profit. In a post-Covenant War galaxy littered with scrap, it's
the salvager's motto - and Rion Forge certainly made her mark on the
trade. All she wanted was to grow her business and continue the search
for her long-lost father, but her recent discovery of a Forerunner
debris field at the edge of human-occupied space has now put her
squarely in the crosshairs of the Office of Naval Intelligence and the
violent remains of the Covenant. Each faction has a desire to lay claim
to the spoils of ancient technology, whatever the cost, sending Rion and
the crew of the Ace of Spades on a perilous venture - one that
unexpectedly leads them straight into danger far greater than anything
they've ever encountered...
Halo: Point of Light
August
2558. Rion Forge was once defined by her relentless quest for hope
amidst the refuse and wreckage of a post-Covenant War galaxy years spent
searching for family as much as fortune. But that was before Rion and
the crew of her salvager ship Ace of Spades encountered a powerful yet
tragic being who forever altered their lives. This remnant from eons
past, when the Forerunners once thrived, brought with it a revelation of
ancient machinations and a shocking, brutal history. Unfortunately, the
Ace crew also made dire enemies of the Office of Naval Intelligence in
the process, with the constant threat of capture and incarceration a
very real possibility. Now with tensions mounting and ONI forces closing
in, Rion and her companions commit to this being’s very personal
mission, unlocking untold secrets and even deadlier threats that have
been hidden away for centuries from an unsuspecting universe....
Halo: Divine Wind
October
2559. With the galaxy in the suffocating grip of a renegade artificial
intelligence, another perilous threat has quietly emerged in the
shadows: the Keepers of the One Freedom, a fanatical and merciless
Covenant splinter group, has made its way beyond the borders of the
galaxy to an ancient Forerunner installation known as the Ark. Led by an
infamous Brute named Castor, the Keepers intend to achieve what the
Covenant, in all its might, failed to: activate Halo and take the last
steps on the path of the Great Journey into transcendence.
But
unknown to Castor and his new, unexpected ally on the Ark, there are
traitors to the cause in their midst―namely the Ferrets, composed of
Office of Naval Intelligence operative Veta Lopis and her young team of
Spartan-IIIs, who have been infiltrating the Keepers to lay the
groundwork for Castor’s assassination. But with ONI’s field operations
now splintered and cut off by the Guardian threat, Veta’s original
mission has suddenly and dramatically escalated in scope. There’s simply
no choice or fallback plan―either the Ferrets somehow stop the Keepers
or the galaxy faces an extinction-level event….
