The second novel of the Kilo-Five Trilogy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Traviss—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series Halo!
2553. Welcome to humanity's new war: silent, high stakes, and unseen. This is a life-or-death mission for the Office of Naval Intelligence's black-ops team, Kilo-Five, which is tasked with preventing the ruthless Sangheili, once the military leaders of the alien alliance known as the Covenant, from regrouping and threatening humankind again. What began as a routine dirty-tricks operation—keeping the Sangheili occupied with their own insurrection—turns into a desperate bid to extract one member of Kilo-Five from the seething heart of a brutal civil war. But troubles never come singly for Kilo-Five. Colonial terrorism is once again surfacing on one of the human worlds that survived the war against the Covenant, and the man behind it is much more than just a name to Spartan Naomi-010. Meanwhile, the treasure trove of Forerunner technology recovered from the Forerunner shield world of Onyx is being put to work, even as a kidnapped Sangheili plots vengeance on the humans he fears will bring his people to the brink of destruction...

      Narrator Euan Morton nimbly portrays aliens, humans, and those with artificial intelligence. Fans of the Halo video games, and folks who enjoy classic science-fiction tales, will revel in this audiobook. Members of Kilo-Five, a sort of Navy Seal Team 6 in outer space, must stop a terrorist and rescue one of their own from an alien civil war. As Morton infuses the narrative and dialogue with emotion--growling lines like "She wanted her husband back"--listeners will feel each character's anger and distress. It's almost a guilty pleasure listening to a book based on a video game, but who cares when you're having so much fun hearing a storyteller of this caliber? G.D. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
