About this eBook
An original full-length novel set in the Halo universe and based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!
2526. It has been almost a year since humanity engaged in its destructive first contact with a theocratic military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant. Now the hostilities have led to open war, and the United Nations Space Command understands virtually nothing about its new enemy. There are only two certainties—the Covenant is determined to eradicate humanity, and they have the superior technology to do just that. The UNSC's only hope lies with the Spartans: enhanced super-soldiers trained from childhood via a clandestine black-ops project to be living weapons. Their designated commander, Petty Officer John-117, has been assigned to lead the Spartans on a desperate counterattack designed to rock the Covenant back on its heels, and to buy humanity the time it needs to gather intelligence and prepare its defenses.
But not everyone wants the Spartans to succeed. A coalition of human rebel leaders believes an alliance with the Covenant to be its best hope of finally winning independence from the Unified Earth Government. To further their plans, the insurrectionists have dispatched a sleeper agent to sabotage the UNSC counterattack—and ensure that John-117 and the Spartans never return from battle....

This was the penultimate Halo book I purchased. The reason is, right after that all Halo books have disappeared from the Russian Google Play store and other ebook stores. Now the only way to read Halo in Russia is to either order physical copies from abroad for crazy prices, or to try to acquire the files illegitemately. I have no idea on who took the decision to block the books for my country and for what reason. This makes me very sad so an official answer would be a huge relief. I tried to find information on that from different sources, but to no avail.

I have always loved playing Halo. It's has been so good to see some more people to see the good side of halo. It's crazy to see the MasterCheif to fight the Covenant, Flood, the bad Covenant and the premeatheans who actually was ended by the Flood. I can't believe there are so many types of halo. It's just crazy isn't it.😮😮😮♾️!!?#$?!?!!#$$$##!?!!???!#. Isn't it just crazy. I would love to see all of the Halo lovers out there. At school I have a Halo lover group and we all hate Fortnite. P.S Fortnite is stealing alot of halos ideas including the tank, mantis and the grand imbeatable weapon known as the Gravity hammer which belongs to the Aliens called the Brutes. I am a very big fan of halo you would love to see my meelee attacks which will destroy any enemy which comes into my sight including the invisible aliens known as the Ellites who were the first Aliens to join the Covenant. It's sad to hear that Reach was won by the Covenant and funny how the Grunts run and sounds they make.

Too good to be true. The time spent righting this book and editing should be thought of and I've got to say this back was perfectly done.
