About this listen

 The thrilling novella from author Kelly Gay in the expansive universe of the New York Times bestselling sci-fi/action video game series!

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?

Featuring Gay’s signature “richly complex characters” and “fast-paced plot” (Publishers Weekly), Smoke and Shadow is an exhilarating page-turner for longtime and new fans of the Halo Universe. This novella also contains the complete text of Kelly Gay's short story, "Into the Fire," originally featured in the collection Halo: Fractures.

a great listen, Scott Brick does an amazing performance as always, such a joy listening to him get into characters and giving them certain knacks, he can be a little bit deadpan on the odd occasion but nevertheless a great performance. The sorry has good pacing all round, although I felt like it ended quite abruptly but was very well rounded and all in all a great place for this book to end

brilliant writing for an original halo idea

Performance was amazing as always, he gets better with everybook! I heard the start of this book from Fractures and wanted more, so it was such a pleasant suprise finding the continuation of this story! Action packed, exciting and full of amazing lore!

Amazing!

I feel like Halo Wars is an underrated game and it shows in the novels because this is the first novel that even slightly references it. So it’s really nice to see those games get some recognition.

The story is really interesting too. Normally this stuff is from the point of view of ONI or the UNSC. It’s not often we get a story from the perspective of a civilian. Or in this case a scavenger.

Definitely worth the listen if you fancy something a bit different. 10/10

Finally a Halo novel about the Wars games!
