Based off the famous Xbox shooter Halo, Eric Nylund fleshes out the story of the campaign with this prequel to the events that unfold in the first Halo: Combat Evolved game. Even for those not familiar with the games, the story is compelling as it tracks the spartan measures the federation government takes to combat a growing insurgency when first contact is suddenly made with a new alien species.
