If you like reading a real-time videogame experience, this may be the book for you. After reading The Fall of Reach, this book was a letdown. Mostly a narrative of advancing and shooting and exploding. Little character engagement. Little development of how this story fits into the larger scope of the war with the Covenant. Little-to-no exploration or evaluation of just what the Halo structure may be. Hardly an engaging story on its own, but it does fit in to the longer, more expansive Halo universe, so completists will be interested. But if you are looking for the usual space opera genre's tropes, you will be disappointed.
