Summary
The first novel of the Kilo-Five Trilogy by number-one New York Times best-selling author Karen Traviss - part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series Halo!
It's 2553. The theocratic military alliance known as the Covenant has collapsed after a long, brutal war with humanity that saw billions slaughtered on Earth and its colonies. For the first time in 30 years, however, peace finally seems possible. But though the fighting has stopped, the war is far from over: It’s just gone underground. The United Nations Space Command’s feared and secretive Office of Naval Intelligence recruits Kilo-Five - a clandestine team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, a Spartan supersoldier, and a diabolical AI - to accelerate the insurrection within the Covenant’s warrior species, the Sangheili, even as their notable defector turned leader, Thel ‘Vadam - the Arbiter - struggles to stave off civil war among his divided people.
Across the galaxy, a woman thought to have died in the Covenant attack on the planet Reach is actually very much alive. Chief scientist Dr. Catherine Halsey broke every law in the book to create the Spartan program, and now, she’s broken some more rules to save them. Marooned with Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez and a Spartan team in a Forerunner slipspace bubble hidden in the destroyed planet Onyx, Halsey finds that this place has been guarding an ancient secret - a treasure trove of Forerunner technology that will change everything for the UNSC and mankind. As Kilo-Five joins the hunt for Halsey, humanity’s violent past begins to catch up with all of them as the disgruntled colony Venezia has been biding its time to strike at Earth...and its most dangerous terrorist has an old, painful link with both Halsey and Kilo-Five that will test everyone’s loyalty to the limit.

More in-depth than expected
Very well written between the different view points of the multiple characters and themes, we get a different look at the Elites and the intricacies of the Spartan Program. all wrapped up neatly in a different type of story than we normally get for the universe.
Credit to the narrator for giving his best for a wide range of accents and species, being able to create a voice for a character not just an accent change.

Completely Unexpected
I now see halo in a very different light. The Kilo five series is way better than it has any right to be considering it came from a game about shooting aliens. I loved the games but the master chief is a one dimensional plank of a character in comparison. If only the TV show had adapted this series it might have been interesting.

Great listen, takes a bit getting used to
It took a while for the Narator to get into. At the start it was difficult to tell what was spoken dioligue and what was thought as the Narators voices blended. However, he soon got into and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Best trilogy of the halo books
Grasslands is a great introduction to Kilo 5 and the full trilogy is the best out of all the halo books in my opinion. Karen Travis is a sensational author and I hope she makes more Kilo 5 books soon!

Engrossing
A fantastic book that continues the story of Ghosts Of Onyx. The story is so entertaining that I struggled to go for more than my shifts at work before getting my headphones back in to hear what happened next, highly recommended!
