As one of the few to escape the glassing of Paris IV, and despite the United Nations Space Command winning the war on behalf of humanity, Molly never forgot how much she had lost. Nine years later, when her adoptive parents - research scientists specializing in ancient Forerunner technology - are called to the mysterious and wondrous place known as Onyx, Molly vehemently objects.

Publisher's Summary
An original novella set in the Halo Universe and based on the New York Times best-selling video game series!
Find. Claim. Profit.
In a postwar galaxy littered with scrap, it's the salvager's motto. And with a fast ship and a lust for adventure, Rion Forge has certainly made her mark on the trade. When the discovery of a wrecked UNSC cruiser brings Rion's past back to haunt her, stirring fresh hope into a decades-old wound, she's hell-bent on finding answers: What really happened to her father and his ship, the Spirit of Fire? This novella also contains the complete text of Kelly Gay's short story "Into the Fire", originally featured in the collection Halo: Fractures.

A damn good Gap filler
short and sweet I just want to say that this book not only explained a lot of missing things with both Halo Wars and with the newer Halo series with four and five but it connected the two finally and further got me hyped for a future title that my return to a Halo game with more of a Halo feel and that is ultimately what everybody wants whether they know it or not. Thanks Audible and thank you to everyone else that helped make this happen!

title says it all. I am really not a fan of Scott Brick's performance, all his characters sound the same. He is nowhere close to the worst, but I wish these halo books would branch out to other narrators again.

My favourite HALO novella
Kelly Gay managed to do something in 5 hours that normally takes two or three books to do. I genuinely cared what happened to these pirates (Yes we are following people flipping the UNSC the bird). Even if you have to spend a credit this is worth it. It’s a perfect instalment in the series.

brilliant writing for an original halo idea
a great listen, Scott Brick does an amazing performance as always, such a joy listening to him get into characters and giving them certain knacks, he can be a little bit deadpan on the odd occasion but nevertheless a great performance. The sorry has good pacing all round, although I felt like it ended quite abruptly but was very well rounded and all in all a great place for this book to end
