About this listen

USA TODAY BESTSELLER

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

A HALO INFINITE STORY

December 2559. Humanity has its back against the wall after the United Nations Space Command flagship Infinity drops out of slipspace into a devastating ambush launched by the Banished. As this fierce enemy alliance seeks to claim a mysterious object hidden within the ancient Forerunner construct known as Zeta Halo, the surviving UNSC corps finds itself compromised and its leadership out of reach—with remaining personnel forced to abandon ship and take their chances on the fractured, unpredictable surface of the Halo ring.

Now survival in this strange, alien environment—whether for Spartan super-soldiers or those who never thought they would see the battle up close—is measured day to day against a relentless and brutal adversary that always has the upper hand. Desperation grows, but the will to keep on fighting and enduring no matter the odds is never in doubt…even as the Banished seek to unleash a frightening new enemy that could doom them all…

A great story that admittedly starts a little slow. Featuring some genuinely compelling characters and another fantastic narration by the very talented Scott brick. A perfect companion to halo infinite.

Another great narration

Ok story, a bit too long start before got interested in it and the good stuff ended too soon.

Good, but short

It’s a great character driven story that helps fill in a lot of the gaps of the game whilst also standing as a stand alone book

Very compelling characters

This book brinks back the feel and memories of HALO THE FLOOD and several of the original books KELLY GAY is definitely the top halo book authors in Recent years and is on par with Eric in Ireland another thing I love about books is her inclusion of halo Law from expanded halo media and is a active halo hard core fan

A brilliant primer for the event so if the Halo Infinite game telling the story of what happened to the crew of Infinity after their ambush above Zeta Halo. This melancholy story shows the true horror of the banished and gives us more insight into the Spartans we see murdered in Infinites campaign as well as more insight into the inner workings of Zeta Halo and the awakening of The Harbinger and in time The Endless.

The story is well paced at 1.5x speed and often hops between the perspectives of many split up parties keeping the story engaging and fresh.

Well worth a read whether planning to play Infinite or if it’s story left you wanting.

An excellent prequel to halo infinite

this book is good and a strong story about the survival of the remaining UNSC forces on zeta halo....however it does not shine any light of the endless and their purpose. I hope 343i will add new storys explaining the gaps soon.

great book...but.

really enjoyed

This was another great entry in to the canon by Kelly with the usual top tier performance by Scott. Having played Halo Infinite before the Novel it was great to see how much effort had gone in to bonding the two together.

A better story than the game

Fleshes out the back story of Zeta halo for the lack lustre this game accompanies

Better story than Halo Infinite!
