Product Details


Product Description

From AudioFile

GHOSTS OF ONYX expands Halo, the world created by Microsoft's Xbox game. This surprisingly strong adventure translates well to audio, complemented by Jonathan Davis's steady narration. He traverses the human versus alien world of military operations and weapons acronyms with precision and mitigates the sterile military setting with warm, human tones. As the superhuman Spartan warriors attempt to capture Onyx technologies, Davis successfully weaves the plot's many threads, creating a cohesive, gripping story. The only drawback to this audiobook comes from its numerous flashbacks. Each episode is introduced by date, but the timeline is hard to follow. In the final scenes the stories merge, ending the confusion. Patient listeners will find GHOSTS OF ONYX a suspenseful interstellar ride.

Product Description

The Spartan-II program has gone public. Tales of super-soldiers fending off thousands of Covenant attacks have become the stuff of legend.  But just how many Spartans are left? While the Master Chief defends a besieged Earth, and the myriad factions of the Covenant continue their crusade to eliminate humanity, an ultrasecret cell of the Office of Naval Intelligence known as Section Three devises a plan to buy the UNSC vital time. They re going to need hundreds of willing soldiers, though . . . And one more Spartan to get the job done. The planet Onyx is virtually abandoned and the perfect place to set this new plan in motion. But when the Master Chief destroys Halo, something is triggered deep within Onyx: Ancient Forerunner technology stirs, and fleets of UNSC and Covenant race to claim it to change the course of the Human-Covenant War. But this reawakened and ancient force may have plans of its own  . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars A harmless bit of fun, April 10 2009
By A. Volk - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This story follows the history and creation of the Spartans, the genetically-enhanced super-soldiers of the Halo wars. The story follows their training to a planet, Black Onyx. There, the Covenant, Humanity, and the Forerunners clash in a battle royal that tests the mettle of the best and bravest that humanity has to offer.

This book isn't incredibly deep in terms of plot or morals, but the characters are decent (other than the Dr.), and the plot moves along at a good pace. The action is good, and the tactics and techno-geek is enough to keep you interested throughout the book.

So if you're looking for deep sci-fi to engage you, this isn't the right book. Try Starship Troopers instead. If you're looking for a quick, fun read about man versus aliens with really cool gear, this is the book for you.
