About this ebook
The New York Times bestselling series based on the blockbuster Xbox® games!
While Spartans get all the glory, no soldier―not even the legendary Master Chief―wins a war on their own. Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck and his team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) played a major role in saving the 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 finally 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?

Main characters should not be removed from a game franchise in a book. The book was amazing overall, and I loved it. But 343 needs to understand that some characters, especially ones that mean a lot to fans, need to be featured in a game if they want to give them a decided future. Other than this small problem, book was about an 8/10, kept me engaged and I didn't want to stop reading.

The book doesn't fit into the actual Halo video games and is told in to many different points of view. Which, doesn't allow the reader to totally understand the books content.

Not as long as I would have liked. But if you want to view this story from a down to earth level, then the ODST experience is the way to go.
