Gunny Sargent Edward Buck was a superior soldier in every way. He was an ODST, Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, that was a great team leader and a tactician and a fighter. He lead his troups through some of the worst fighting in the war against the Covenant and has seen things and done things that even shocked himself. He was proud of his team's accomplishments and what they had done in the war effort to help defend and save the human race from destruction at the hand of the Covenant races they fought against.
As the end of the Covenant War came there was still a lot of things to accomplish to make humanity safe. Clean out the rebel Covenant soldiers and the just as dangerous human rebel soldiers that immediately rose up from the ashes and began fighting the UNSC in an effort to declare independence from Earth. Buck accepts a promotion to become a Spartan IV warrior. A super human trained to the peak of military fighting. He soon finds out that all is not well in the Spartan ranks as it appears that there is a traitor in the Spartan training camp......
I have read almost all of the Halo books and I have enjoyed many of them. This one is a great story for me. As it openly discussed the fighting that Edward Buck and his teams went through and his transition to becoming a Spartan IV. I like the book a lot and I rated it at 5 stars. Military Sci-Fi is my favorite genre and this book fit into the style of story that I enjoy the most.

Great addition to Halo!
This book first arrived online in e-book format a while back. I hate reading on a device and would rather have a physical copy, so when I saw that it was available for preorder, I had to act. I finished this book very quickly. When I first had seen the cover I thought that it would be just a filler book. It is just over 200 pages, but their is plenty of plot development. This story follows Buck and his rise to Spartan status. It also follows the Halo ODST team and what happens to them. Some emotional and wtf moments happen, some will leave in depth halo fans speechless. This book is also very easy to read. Great backstory for buck, and almost leads right up to his appearance in Halo 5! Enjoy!
