About this listen

The New York Times best-selling origin story of the Master Chief - part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series Halo!

The 26th century. Humanity has expanded beyond Earth’s system to hundreds of planets that colonists now call home. But the United Earth Government and the United Nations Space Command is struggling to control this vast empire. After exhausting all strategies to keep seething colonial insurrections from exploding into a full-blown interplanetary civil war, the UNSC has one last hope. At the Office of Naval Intelligence, Dr. Catherine Halsey has been hard at work on a top-secret program that could bring an end to the conflict...and it starts with 75 children, among them a six-year-old boy named John. And Halsey could never guess that this child will eventually become the final hope against an even greater peril engulfing the galaxy - the inexorable confrontation with a theocratic military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant.

This is the electrifying origin story of Spartan John-117 - the Master Chief - and of his legendary, unstoppable heroism in leading the resistance against humanity’s possible extinction.

My favourite of all the series

Pre covenant. The origin of master chief and the original Spartans. The story and struggle of how it all started is awesome. The introduction of the covenant race and how the war began.

Thrilling action adventure

Phenomenal story and well delivered. This is the closest to behind the scenes of the halo universe and the origin story. This is the main time line which also works in conjunction with the game Fall Of Reach. (Story was first) it is nice seeing the side of Keys, Cortana, Halsey, Mendez and Johnson. Even if you aren’t a fan of the games, or want to dip your toes in the universe for the first time this is great for any sci-fi fan or just for good adventure.

Cuts off a few words

The only problem with it is that some words are cut at the beginning of them
