The New York Times bestselling series based on the blockbuster video
game for Xbox!It is 2555, more than two years after the Master Chief
went missing-in-action following a decisive conflict on Installation
00--the massive, extragalactic Forerunner construct known as the Ark--as
part of the final chapter in humanity's bloody thirty-year struggle
against the overwhelming forces of the Covenant. Now, as a tenuous peace
exists between the humans and the Elites, a startling scientific
discovery is made...and the riddle behind its Forerunner origins could
very well seal the fate of the entire galaxy within a matter of weeks.
In order to unravel these dangerous secrets, a heroic, hastily formed
coalition of humans and Elites must attempt to overcome their
differences as they embark on a covert mission back to the Ark--an
astonishing, enigmatic place beyond comprehension from which few have
returned and where mortal danger awaits them all...
