Summary
The second 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. Welcome to humanity’s new war: silent, high-stakes, and unseen. This is a life-or-death mission for the Office of Naval Intelligence’s black-ops team, Kilo-Five, which is tasked with preventing the ruthless Sangheili, once the military leaders of the alien alliance known as the Covenant, from regrouping and threatening humankind again. What began as a routine dirty-tricks operation - keeping the Sangheili occupied with their own insurrection - turns into a desperate bid to extract one member of Kilo-Five from the seething heart of a brutal civil war.
But troubles never come singly for Kilo-Five. Colonial terrorism is once again surfacing on one of the human worlds that survived the war against the Covenant, and the man behind it is much more than just a name to Spartan Naomi-010.
Meanwhile, the treasure trove of Forerunner technology recovered from the Forerunner shield world of Onyx is being put to work, even as a kidnapped Sangheili plots vengeance on the humans he fears will bring his people to the brink of destruction....

Pretty good!
Arguably the best in the Kilo-Five trilogy. Some of the characters are interesting and the ending is an neat setup for what's to come.

The narrator
I've read the book. But I bought the audio book because of the narration of this and its prequel.

amazing middle chapter to Kilo 5 saga
Karen Traviss always writes awesome characters, I loved her work on the Gears of War franchise but I think the Kilo 5 Trilogy is my favourite.
The performance was a great listen too! Sometimes they can take a little getting used to but this one was perfect and even voiced the parts how I envisioned them in my head when reading the book myself.
Highly recommend this book for anyone looking for more Halo content!

A slow but detailed middle entry to the trilogy.
First, the performance was once again amazing, I didn't think it could get better. The story is unfortunately very slow, but has great detail. I just missed some of the action, no wonder the ODSTs are getting fat!
