The New York Times bestselling origin story of the Master
Chief—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning
video game series Halo! The twenty-sixth century. Humanity has
expanded beyond Earth’s system to hundreds of planets that
colonists now call home. But the United Earth Government and the
United Nations Space Command is struggling to control this vast
empire. After exhausting all strategies to keep seething colonial
insurrections from exploding into a full-blown interplanetary civil
war, the UNSC has one last hope. At the Office of Naval
Intelligence, Dr. Catherine Halsey has been hard at work on a
top-secret program that could bring an end to the conflict…and it
starts with seventy-five children, among them a six-year-old boy
named John. And Halsey could never guess that this child will
eventually become the final hope against an even greater peril
engulfing the galaxy—the inexorable confrontation with a
theocratic military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant.
This is the electrifying origin story of Spartan John-117—the
Master Chief—and of his legendary, unstoppable heroism in leading
the resistance against humanity’s possible extinction.
