About this listen
The first novel of the Kilo-Five Trilogy by number-one New York Times best-selling author Karen Traviss - part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series Halo!
It's 2553. The theocratic military alliance known as the Covenant has collapsed after a long, brutal war with humanity that saw billions slaughtered on Earth and its colonies. For the first time in 30 years, however, peace finally seems possible. But though the fighting has stopped, the war is far from over: It’s just gone underground. The United Nations Space Command’s feared and secretive Office of Naval Intelligence recruits Kilo-Five - a clandestine team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, a Spartan supersoldier, and a diabolical AI - to accelerate the insurrection within the Covenant’s warrior species, the Sangheili, even as their notable defector turned leader, Thel ‘Vadam - the Arbiter - struggles to stave off civil war among his divided people.
Across the galaxy, a woman thought to have died in the Covenant attack on the planet Reach is actually very much alive. Chief scientist Dr. Catherine Halsey broke every law in the book to create the Spartan program, and now, she’s broken some more rules to save them. Marooned with Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez and a Spartan team in a Forerunner slipspace bubble hidden in the destroyed planet Onyx, Halsey finds that this place has been guarding an ancient secret - a treasure trove of Forerunner technology that will change everything for the UNSC and mankind. As Kilo-Five joins the hunt for Halsey, humanity’s violent past begins to catch up with all of them as the disgruntled colony Venezia has been biding its time to strike at Earth...and its most dangerous terrorist has an old, painful link with both Halsey and Kilo-Five that will test everyone’s loyalty to the limit.

Spectacular
By far the halo book I have read so far. It’s genuinely well written which is not something I can say about the majority of halo novels.

Voice acting
Great lore story that fills in the gaps between Halo 3-4 and good voice acting, the Australian accents were actually done quite well.

Great start to an epic story
The Dr Halsey bashing seemed a little over the top at times. Especially from the people that also were involved in the Spartan 2 (and 3) Program. Otherwise great story and book.

A halo trilogy for adults
This applies do the whole trilogy because I have listened to all, three times now. These books bring the halo universe so far into reality the previous books are great but have a lot of inconsistencies. K5 trilogy gives you a more nuanced depiction of doctor Halsey. A person who at best is a criminal solipsistic narcissist. the sangheili, in previous lore they talk about honour While slaughtering non combatants. This book explores all.

Great story, really enjoyable
Overall great. My only criticism is the way the narrator pronounced New Llanelli. I would have thought a professional narrator would have taken the time to learn how to pronounce place names or words correctly.
