Summary
The New York Times best-selling aftermath of Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the Master Chief - part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series!
It's 2552. The theocratic military alliance known as the Covenant is showing no mercy as it continues to assault every human world it encounters, but in the way lies humanity’s greatest champion, the supersoldier Spartan John-117 - the Master Chief. Together with his AI companion Cortana and the last remaining Spartans, the galaxy-spanning fight rages on two fronts following the destruction of the human military stronghold Reach by Covenant forces and the mysterious artificial ringworld known as “Halo” at the hands of the Master Chief.
One faction - a squad of Spartans lead by Blue Team’s Fred-104 and Kelly-087 - is trapped on the glassed surface of Reach, the only planet they’ve ever known as home. Beneath this ruined world, Dr. Catherine Halsey has discovered an ancient secret...one that could alter the course of the war. Meanwhile, the Master Chief and Cortana lead a second group toward a gathering of Covenant warships, as the United Nations Space Command’s worst nightmare has finally come true: The Covenant has discovered the location of Earth and is forming a massive fleet to utterly destroy it, as well as all who oppose the indomitable will of the Prophets....

Shame about the music theme
The whole audiobook is amazing, but the only thing that bugged me was use of Halo 5 music, instead of original Halo theme.
Seems trivial but come on hearing anything else than that epic Halo theme in the original Halo audiobook seems not right.
But that’s the only bad thing I can say about this audiobook, it is truly great and I liked it a lot.

A masterpiece...
First Strike follows on from the First Halo game and Halo The Flood book.
It gives more back story to what happened on Reach and how Chief got away from the Halo ring.
If you only played the games, this gives alot more lore to the Halo Universe and will fill in those gaps within the Halo timeline.

Sacrifice
It was a little slow at first, but as it progressed it got better and I thought the end was great. So many deaths in one book though, a lot of honorable sacrifices. Worth a listen as it ties up a few loose ends and neatly sets up the stage for Halo 2.

Decent
Story started strong but ran out of stream towards the end. This is a book for fans of the game series looking to fill in the gaps between game entries.
I enjoyed it, but mainly for my love of games.

Good start but slow burn.
