Publisher's Summary

An original full-length novel set in the Halo universe and based on the New York Times best-selling video game series!

Just hours following their climactic battle on the Forerunner planet Genesis, the Spartans of Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris find themselves running for their lives from the malevolent machinations of the now-renegade artificial intelligence Cortana. But even as they attempt to stay one step ahead, trouble seems to find Spartan Edward Buck no matter where he turns.

A secret mission enacted by the Office of Naval Intelligence could possibly help turn the tide, and has Buck reluctantly agreeing to reform his old team, Alpha-Nine. Because if the band is really getting back together for this one, that means everybody - including the Spartan who Buck never wants to see again, the one who committed the ultimate betrayal of trust....

Fantastic story about bringing the gang back together, and the wounds that just won't heal

Absolutely loved this audiobook, the Narrator voices the characters well, and the story of Buck reuniting with his old team fighting against Cortana and skeletons in the closet is well written. Halo 5 might've been a let down, but this book sure isn't and is a great continuation.

Needs a better narrater

I thought the narration could have been more engaging. Jonathan Davis would have been a better fit to narrate this audiobook in my opinion. But otherwise, the story was excellent!

Fascinating

A nice way to continue the story after halo 5.
Buck being the main character gives more insight to his role as a member of Osiris team

Alright

Slightly interesting but story line is a bit average. Feels like not much is happening and there are unnecessary information which doesn't seem very Halo or Spartan

Fantastic

Forbeck at his best with a fantastic cast of characters and a journey that kept me engaged to the very last sentence. Scott Bricks narration is a perfect match for Forbecks intense dialogue and action. People call video game novels trash fiction, Bad Blood proves them wrong. Please get Matt writing more Halo Universe stories. He gets it. I could listen to Mr Brick narrate a cool book. Bravo!
