My Favorite -  |
Ghosts of Onyx Review |
|
This is my favorite of the Halo novels. It is about a Spartan II training the next generation of Spartans and their new armor known as SPARTAN III (that's EVA to you gamers). But on the planet Onyx, they find a Forerunner artifact that the Covenant is also after. Not to mention Onyx has an army of Sentinels all its own.
This definitely my favorite of the novels (and it is so much more than what I had just described). Five star read. Kudos, Nylund |

My son says, "Awesome!!!" - |
Ghosts of Onyx Review |

Great audio book! Better than my son was expecting. It held his interest and didn't bore him. A must for any Halo fan!!! |

Ghosts of Onyx Review |

Wow, I love Halo and all, but this book is boring and full of typos. What the hell? Mr. Nylund should slap his editor. There's a grammatical error in almost every chapter. |

Outstanding book - |
Ghosts of Onyx Review |
|
Let me preface by saying that I usually do not read books. I never played Halo 1 or 2, but have played Halo 3 and was caught up by the excitement. That being said, I never truely appreciated the story and the need to 'finish the fight'. I decided to buy the 3-pack here at amazon (Fall of reach/flood/First Strike) kind of like a filler to get to $25 to get free shipping. A best buy I have made in a long time. I liked First Strike the best, followed closely by Fall of reach and then The Flood. My suspicion is that since the Flood was a narrative of the 1st game, it followed the flow of the game (lots of fighting) thus perhaps why it was 'not as good'.
I soon got excited to see what happened in Halo 2 (still have not played it), but got Ghosts of the Onyx 1st. This book (again in my opinion) is the best so far. It hardly has Master Chief or Cortana, but fills in a lot of the story (and of course leaves a 'cliff hanger' at the end unrelated to the main Halo story arc, thus having me 'wanting more'). I remember when watching Star Trek, Battlestar galactica, etc. I always wondered what the stories some of the other star ships might of had, or wanting to know what the exploits the 'other' Jedi had in star Wars, as all of them likely had excitig stories. This book is similar in that it follows the 'life' of Kurt as he is the main star. It gives more details on the Spartan program, and particular the Spartan III's. It also re-unites the remaining surviving spartans II's (except for Master Chief and 'Grey team --> Cole Protocol). It also sheds more light on the fore-runners, and the civil war that the covenenant are having. I know many are 'unhappy' that it is not centered around master chief, but we all know what he is doing in halo 2 and 3. I want to know what else is going on in the Halo Universe and with the rest of the Spartans and this book does a great job in that. I think Cole protocol will be a 'similar' and outstanding book as well giving us stories of the other spartans. I just got Contact harvest in the mail today. can't wait to read it. |

Nice tangent story - |
Ghosts of Onyx Review |
|
If the other Spartans are not dead, then they must be engaged in other tasks. Spartan 117 cannot do it all alone. It's good to know the others are fighting. Kurt Ambrose rocks! |
