USA TODAY BESTSELLER

“Everyone wants better meetings, but no one seems to know how—until now.” —Reid Hoffman, New York Times bestselling author and cofounder of LinkedIn

“Warning: This read may save you countless hours.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author and host of the podcast Re:Thinking

A Master Chief story and original full-length novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

October 2559. It has been a year since the renegade artificial intelligence Cortana issued a galaxy-wide ultimatum, subjecting many worlds to martial law under the indomitable grip of her Forerunner weapons. Outside her view, the members of Blue Team—John-117, the Master Chief; Fred-104; Kelly-087; and Linda-058—are assigned from the UNSC Infinity to make a covert insertion onto the ravaged planet Reach.

Their former home and training ground—and the site of humanity’s most cataclysmic military defeat near the end of the Covenant War—Reach still hides myriad secrets after all these years. Blue Team’s mission is to penetrate the rubble-filled depths of CASTLE Base and recover top-secret assets locked away in Dr. Catherine Halsey’s abandoned laboratory—assets which may prove to be humanity’s last hope against Cortana.

But Reach has been invaded by a powerful and ruthless alien faction, who have their own reasons for being there. Establishing themselves as a vicious occupying force on the devastated planet, this enemy will soon transform Blue Team’s simple retrieval operation into a full-blown crisis. And with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance, mission failure is not an option…

Only downside about this book is 1 word, Lechatelierite!

Aside from that we have a good continuation of Blue Teams story and a bridge between Halo 5 and Infinite.
A nice insight of Banished factions for those wondering what else they've been up to since Halo Wars 2.
Blue Team proceeds to get on with their usual badass action as usual but also details how bad they can get roughed up as well.

MVP'S of the story would definitely have to be the additions of Chapov and Disztl.

Overall a great one

The multiple points of view from differing factions make this story so unique and action filled. Master Chief is as good as ever and not to mention the interesting characters introduced to the Halo universe.

Gets me excited for HALO INFINITE!

An ideal companion piece to Halo reach and Halo 5.
It is also one of the few Halo novels you can start without reading the entire series.

A good Reach romp.
