About this ebook
The New York Times bestselling series based on the blockbuster Xbox® games!
While Spartans get all the glory, no soldier―not even the legendary Master Chief―wins a war on their own. Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck and his team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) played a major role in saving the 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 finally 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?

if you loved ODST then read this book. The author really captures the essence of Buck. Even the order of how the story was told felt as if it was how Buck would tell the story. The only thing that would make this story better is if they had Nathan Fillion do an audio book.

A great book with several short stories that help to expand the world of the ODSTs and the SPARTAN IV recruits while staying true to previously established character's personalities. Surprisingly, the multiple scattered storylines help to build enough suspense propel you through the pages. With a sometimes emotional edge and a fair bit of expansion on the lore, Halo: New Blood is a worthwhile read and a personal favourite that has me pumped for Halo 3: ODST's imminent re-release.
