The New York Times bestselling series based on the blockbuster
Xbox(R) games continues with the acclaimed story (originally published
as a digital-first edition) of Spartan Edward Buck--first seen in HALO:
ODST and reappearing in 2015's 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?
