Publisher's Summary
The first novel in the Forerunner Saga trilogy by science-fiction legend Greg Bear - set in the Halo universe and based on the New York Times best-selling video game series!
One hundred thousand years ago, the galaxy was populated by a great variety of beings. But one species - eons beyond all others in both technology and knowledge - achieved dominance.
They ruled in peace but met opposition with quick and brutal effectiveness. They were the Forerunners - the keepers of the Mantle of Responsibility, the next stage of life in the Universe’s Living Time.
And then they vanished.
This is their story.

Awesome, ancient and sleek
Awesome, really brings life to the game as I played through halo 1 and 2 as a young kid. These massive alien constructs and the cosmic horror that is the flood have a new life breathed into them. Really enjoyed learning about the forerunners and Bornstellars journey. The storytelling is enjoyable and answers questions 6-10 year old self had playing the first game. The story really captures timeless power and ancient all encompassing nature of the forerunners and their constructs. The halo universe is so rich in lore and I can’t wait to finish this series.

FAN Flipping Tastic!!
Recommend by 3 great friends and family to dive into this series I finally took the plunge with this audiobook and got damn, what an epic journey and starting point for the trilogy, having only read Contact harvest and Cole protocol as paper backs this was my first experience with listening to an audiobook and by golly was it a joy. Many thanks to the reader and to my man Greg for crafting and sharing this wonderful experience I can’t wait to jump into book two!

A good addition to the lore.
Excellent story and narration, though a little slow at times, makes it up with action fueled narrative and personality.
