About this audiobook
2553. Welcome to humanity’s new war: silent, high stakes, and unseen. This is a life-or-death mission for the Office of Naval Intelligence’s black-ops team, Kilo-Five, which is tasked with preventing the ruthless Sangheili, once the military leaders of the alien alliance known as the Covenant, from regrouping and threatening humankind again. What began as a routine dirty-tricks operation—keeping the Sangheili occupied with their own insurrection—turns into a desperate bid to extract one member of Kilo-Five from the seething heart of a brutal civil war. But troubles never come singly for Kilo-Five. Colonial terrorism is once again surfacing on one of the human worlds that survived the war against the Covenant, and the man behind it is much more than just a name to Spartan Naomi-010. Meanwhile, the treasure trove of Forerunner technology recovered from the Forerunner shield world of Onyx is being put to work, even as a kidnapped Sangheili plots vengeance on the humans he fears will bring his people to the brink of destruction…

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5More so than than many of the other books, I particularly enjoyed the kilo-5 series. It was a well written arc for the Halo universe that gave a lot of new insight for Halo lore.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very good book for all Halo fans. The author does a good job with the characters. Not as much action as I would have liked, but lots of good intrigue and character development.
Probably my favorite part of the book are the Elite/Sangheili characters, who have the most interesting journeys. Going to listen to the Mortal Didacta as soon as I can.
