Summary

 The bestselling adaptation of the iconic video game Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the Master Chief—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series!

2552. Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117—the Master Chief—and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew’s only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground.

But they soon discover that this enigmatic ringworld is much more than it seems. Built one hundred thousand years ago by a long-lost civilization known as the Forerunners, this “Halo” is worshipped by the Covenant—a sacred artifact they hope will complete their religious quest for supposed transcendence, and they will stop at nothing to control it. Engaging in fierce combat, Master Chief and Cortana will go deep into the Halo construct and uncover its dark secret and true purpose—even as a monstrous and far more vicious enemy than the Covenant emerges to threaten all sentient life on Halo and the galaxy beyond… Adventure Fiction Genre Fiction Military Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-Ins Science Fiction Video Game

Halo: The Flood is eseentially the book version of the story of the game Halo Combat Evolved. It follows multiple stories on the Halo Ring both human and Covenant. If you have played Halo Combat Evolved and always wondered what happens between the levels, this book should help you fill in those gaps!

The Narration performance by Todd McLaren is fantastic, he captures the atmosphere and characters perfectly.

I liked how you here the both perspectives of the humans and the aliens. Playing Halo a time ago helpt with the visualisation.

Good listen

Really enjoyable listen. Fills in some of the gaps left by the game, and expands upon the tale as it unfolds. Some great side characters, some of whom are found in-game, with others written for the novel. Wonderfully narrated, highly recommended.

A must-read for Halo fanatics

Its just Halo CE. Its hard to write an mainly action game into an book. The games story is awesome and the book writes it well. Sadly tho the action scenes does not translate well in the book. Not the fault of the writer, it’s he did a good job. The combat just takes over the book. That’s why I can’t give the story higher than an 3.5/5.

Todd gave an excellent performance again. But removed some mistakes he read in the first book. But the rest is the same as my my review of the first book. So an 4.8/5 of an performance by Todd

Its Halo CE
