    About this ebook

    Nur ein Kreuzer konnte aus der blutigen Schlacht um den Planeten REACH entkommen. An Bord befinden sich die wenigen Überlebenden des Massakers: Captain Keyes, ein paar Hundert Marines und der Master Chief der legendären SPARTANER-Eliteeinheit.Im Orbit über HALO werden die letzten Überlebenden der Reach-Schlacht von den Allianztruppen zur Notlandung gezwungen, wo sie von Feinden umzingelt werden. Es scheint so, als suchten die Außerirdischen etwas, das auf HALO verborgen ist. Die Ringwelt, die von einem längst vergessenen Volk erbaut wurde, hat viele tödliche Geheimnisse, doch eines stellt alle anderen Mysterien in den Schatten. Der Master Chief muss seine versprengten Truppen in ein brutales Wettrennen um HALOS dunkelstes Geheimnis führen - und dessen größte Machtquellen entfesseln.

      The plot goes like this: Master Chief kills something, runs around, kills something, talks to Cortana, kills stuff, kills, kills, kills, has an emotion for two sentances, kills stuff. There are maybe five lines of introspection or charactarization in the whole book, but that's not why you're reading it of course. You're reading it because you play Halo and can't get enough Master Chief and Covenant and AIs and what-have-you.Yet, even next to some of the other Halo novels this one is pretty kill-heavy. However, it's probably the best of the lot I've read since, compared to the minus 11 tidbits of emotion the rest of the novels toss you, this one is fairly packed with pathos to get off on.
    • 2/5
      The Fall of Reach and First Strike by Eric Nylund were superior works, this novelization of the game just is not as good.
    • 3/5
      I liked the other Halo titles I've read better. While the plot was good, there just wasn't much as far as character development. Like the video game, there were a lot of fight scenes, and they just seemed detailed and repetitive. That sort of thing works well in a video game, but it didn't add anything to the plot of the book.
    • 4/5
      The second book in the Halo novelizations closely follows the first Halo game. The novel provides further information regarding the Covenant forces during Halo (in one instance following the grunt Yayap in his series of misadventures while trying to stay alive). The story has slow pacing in areas, noticeably during the 'lone wolf' adventures of John-117 and once the Flood are let out. Other sections provide greater insight into the marines' actions on the ground, their base and skirmishes with the covenant, and how UNSC military personnel react to highly stressful conditions. Ultimately the novel was a quick read with a story that was easy to visualize as it did its best to stay true to the game.
    • 1/5
      I could have gone without reading this book. It was a total waste of time and money. I have never played the game, Halo, but I can imagine it is much like reading the book. After thousands of kills of Grunts, Jackals, Hunters, Wraiths, then the Flood, well, it got really boring. By the end of the book I was hating the Master Chief. How boring can it be reading someone trying to describe the action of the game. There was little plot at all. I want my money back! I give it a one star for the plot.
    • 2/5
      First of all, I am a big fan of science fiction writing, and I also really enjoyed Halo (the video game). With that said, this book was terrible. The writing was incredibly "blah" and it was next to impossible for me to read more than ten pages at a sitting because I would get so fed up with the writing style. I can't see myself reading anything else by William C. Dietz.
    • 4/5
      Well if you like playing games and re=playing them through reading this is the book for you if not go read a book like starship troopers. It is like play reading a video game.
    • 3/5
      Read this purely because I loved the game. Nice to step into that world but as this part was a direct copy of the story of the game it was not as good as the others.
    • 2/5
      Based on the video game Halo, and not nearly as interesting as the prequel, [Halo: Fall of Reach], this is about as dull as watching someone play a video game (or watching grass grow). Fans might enjoy it, but for the rest of us, BORING.
    • 5/5
      Halo combat evolved:The flood-Eric NyuldThe book is based on the popular Xbox game, halo: combat evolved. The story is about a super soldier, ‘Spartan 117’ or as most people call him ‘master chief’. Held in the year 2552, it starts of in the pillar of autumn. This is a space station that master chief is in. The space station is attacked and invaded by An alien covenant that they have been in war with for many years. He then has no choice but to fight his way to an escape pod, as there is too much aliens to defend the station. He is guided by a computer A.I, Cortana. After escaping they land on installation 04 or ‘halo’ (meaning ring).I think that the book was full of adventure and excitement. The plot is very well set out it contains lots of mysteries that left me in suspense and made me want to read more. It is part of a series of books. After I finished reading it, I wanted to buy more books of the series. The characters are very well developed and are unique in their own way. I enjoyed the book like T.V show or a movie. I would recommend it for teenagers who are a fan of the game or who like action-packed adventures.In conclusion it is a very well constructed book and my rating for it would be 5/5.-Review by Denzel Inciong
    • 5/5
      This book takes place a few weeks after the fall of Reach(The last book). A ship called the Pillar of Autum comes out of slip-space and its corridnates brought it to a Halo like structure. Their captin, Keyes, decides to wake the Master Cheif(Spartan-117, XXX,John) from cryo-sleep. To their demise, a Covenant ship followed the and sent a boarding party their way. When the Autum was taken, the battle took place on the Halo array. After a few hard fought battles, a new alien race was releaced into the fray, the Flood. One thing was clear, Master Cheif had to destroy the array. I like this book because, once again, it is based off my favorite game saga, Halo. I also like this book because it is a Si-Fi novel. I like the future books because it could happen. The last Spartan remaining would fight 2 alien races who would do anything to kill the humans and destroy Earth. I would recomed this book to Si-Fi readers. If i were in John's shoes, i would do the last thing i know, survive. War ravages everyone.
