Halo: First Strike

20/6/2012

 
Picture
First Strike flashes back and forth on the timeline of the first two books to launch itself into an exciting third part.

It picks up the story with the remaining Spartans on Reach who try to survive the relentless Covenant attacks whilst digging themselves deeper and deeper into Reach until they finally bump into doctor Halsey. It flash-forwards to the Master Chief after the destruction of Halo and tells us how he gets back to Reach with a small number of survivors onboard a captured Covenant flagship.

Reach wasn't completely glassed as the Covenant were still looking for something hidden under the surface of the planet. Forerunner artifacts to be precise.

On Reach, Master Chief Spartan-117 aka John sets out to find the remainder of his team and after re-uniting with doctor Halsey and the remaining Spartans and rescuing Admiral Whitcomb they secure the artifact.

When they learn that the position of Earth has been compromised a daring plan is executed to stop the Covenant en route.

The great thing about Nylunds books is that he goes much further than the story arc of the games. He fills in the gaps, expands the Halo universe and tells us thrilling stories whilst giving a face and a voice to both the united earth forces and their foes, the Covenant.

    About

    January 2012. I solemnly promise myself to read at least one book per month. It doesn't really matter what, as long as I r.e.a.d!

    5 months later... the score is 4 to 1. At the start of May I can proudly say I managed to finish 1, that is one, book of fiction. Nothing fancy, nor hot, nor well known, just a nice piece of escapism.

    I will create a little entry for every book I read, mainly for myself, to keep track of what I've read and what I thought of it. And maybe for your enjoyment.

    Books I read in Dutch will have a Dutch review and English books will receive an English entry.

    5 to 1. I think I'll start right away if I still want tot reach that goal.
