About this listen

 The New York Times bestselling series based on the blockbuster Xbox® games continues with the acclaimed story of Spartan Edward Buck—first seen in HALO: ODST and reappearing in HALO 5: GUARDIANS!

While Spartans get all the glory, no soldier―not even the legendary Master Chief―wins a war on his own. Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck and his team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) played a major role in saving Earth from all-out invasion at the end of the Covenant War―acts of bravery and ingenuity that did not go unnoticed by the United Nations Space Command.

Now, after many Spartans have been killed in battle and the Master Chief is listed as MIA, the UNSC decides to create a new generation of Spartans to defend humanity from threats both outside―and within. When they come to Buck with an extraordinary proposition, he is forced to make a life-altering decision. With the Covenant War finally over, is it time for him to retire to the sidelines for a life he could only dream about…or is he prepared to step up and become part of the military’s new blood?

Buck's journey from an ODST to a Spartan was told fantastically. Links to H3 ODST make it a familiar yet exciting experience, fleshing out a multitude of classic characters featured in the Halo universe along the way.

Awesome expansion to Alpha-Nine's story.

I listened to this thing in 2 days and it was really interesting. Seeing the evolution of Bucks story with Dare and how he became a spartan was quite the adventure.

A nice back story
