Halo: Oblivion: A Master Chief Story

Written by Troy Denning

Narrated by Scott Brick

A Master Chief story and original full-length novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

2526. It has been more than a year since humanity first encountered the hostile military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant, and several weeks after the United Nations Space Command’s devastating counterattack of Operation: SILENT STORM was deemed an overwhelming success. The UNSC has put its faith in the hands of the Spartans, led by the legendary Master Chief, John-117: enhanced super-soldiers raised and trained from childhood via a clandestine black ops project to be living weapons. But the Covenant—enraged and fearful of their enemy’s unexpected strategies and prowess—is not taking its recent defeat lightly, and is now fully determined to eradicate humanity from existence, brutally overrunning the ill-fated planets of the Outer Colonies faster than retreats can be ordered.

If the UNSC has any chance of stemming the tide of the war, the Master Chief and Blue Team must drop onto an empty, hellish world in order to capture a disabled Covenant frigate filled with valuable technology. It has all the makings of a trap, but the bait is far too tempting to ignore—and this tantalizing prize is being offered by a disgraced and vengeful Covenant fleetmaster, whose sole opportunity for redemption lies in extinguishing humanity’s only hope of survival…

Reviews for Halo

[Caryn · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great book, not as good as silent storm, but then again silent storm is one of my favorite books of all time so it is a little hard to judge

Would recommend to anyone even if you are not a fan of Halo

[Gamer Inferno · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Didn't love it as much as Silent Storm, but maybe that's because I went into it expecting one thing and got another.

Still a great read though with plenty to love. Troy Denning is proving himself to be the go to author when it comes to Halo books.

[Alette · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was fantastisk! I love that we get more team interactions and banter. There is lot of action, there is intrigue, and there is subterfuge. And I felt this book balanced it well. It was fun, exciting and suspenseful, and well paced.
