About this listen

 Discover the original novel set in the Halo universe, based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

Saskia, Dorian, Evie, and Victor aren’t exactly friends at their small high school on the middle-of-nowhere colony world of Meridian. Each has their own problems, from absent parents to supporting their family, getting into a good college to making the next hit holo-film. But those problems were nothing next to the threat now facing their world: The alien alliance known as the Covenant is laying siege to Meridian, for reasons that aren’t so easily explained.

With their village in flames, the four teens find themselves stuck above ground, locked out of the town shelter where the rest of the survivors are gathered. Together, Saskia, Dorian, Evie, and Victor are thrust into battle with nothing but a few scavenged weapons and an injured Spartan, one of the UNSC’s super-soldiers. What’s forged from the destruction will determine the fate of Meridian and tilt the battle for humanity’s survival. Adventure Fiction Military Science Fiction Survival

the multiple voice actors occasionally made it hard to know who was who at the start

A interesting dynamic

Fantastic listen as long as you go into it knowing it’s a young adults story aimed for teens. Although it hasn’t got all the blood and guts as something like contact harvest or the fall of reach. It does plenty to introduce the covenant and other basic halo lore in one neat package!

Brilliant introduction to halo for young adults!

This is the first Halo book out of 29 that I have read, that I felt like I was not the target demographic, which is strange because I am a massive Halo fan.... The first 20 chapters were very slow but painted a nice story to lead into the action. When the action started it was full on, well described and exciting. The ending however is just crazy, ridiculous and makes absolutely nosense...

The fist Halo book I feel was not for me...
