The bestselling series of HALO novels continues in this new space thriller based on the enormously popular game. Though a fragile peace has been established between Earth and the peoples of the Covenant, forces on both sides make that peace precarious. A schism among the Sangheili is gaining strength, with a splinter group trying to unseat the leader who agreed to peace; and while some Human colonies rebel against Earth authority, the official policy of ONI changes as the volatile situation in space shifts with new developments. Having discovered a trove of Forerunner technology on Onyx, Earth now seeks to find uses for it in the conflict. For the fight is far from over . . . KAREN TRAVISS is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of HALO: Glasslands, three Star Wars: Republic Commando novels; three Star Wars: Legacy of the Force novels; and bestselling Gears novels. A former defense correspondent and TV and newspaper journalist, she lives in England.
