The Flood - a horrifying, shape-changing, and unstoppable parasite - has arrived in force, aided by unexpected allies, and internal strife has desperately weakened Forerunner defenses.
But one species—eons beyond all others in both technology and knowledge—achieved dominance.
This title is due for release on January 1, 2019. William C. Dietz, Auteur(s):
Welcome to humanity’s new war: silent, high-stakes, and unseen. One hundred thousand years ago, the galaxy was populated by a great variety of beings. For the first time in 30 years, however, peace finally seems possible.
The characters were all different and likeable.
But overall, though I believe it to be drawn out, it's a good book to read if you're as thirsty for halo lore as I happen to be.
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.
Now, the hostilities have led to open war, and the United Nations Space Command understands virtually nothing about its new enemy.

This explains far more about the ancient history of the story than the games have even attempted to touch on.
But humanity has unknowingly trespassed on holy ground - straying into the path of the aggressive, theocratic empire known as the Covenant.
Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck and his team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) played a major role in saving the Earth from all-out invasion at the end of the Covenant War - acts of bravery and ingenuity that did not go unnoticed by the United Nations Space Command. Harvest is a peaceful, prosperous farming colony on the very edge of human-controlled space.
Very detailed personality with the variation of voices.

“Halo: Cryptum” is a tough book to read, and an even harder book to review.
The UNSC’s only hope lies with the Spartans: enhanced super-soldiers trained from childhood via a clandestine black-ops project to be living weapons.
But humanity is also currently locked in a bitter civil war of its own: the Insurrection.
My love of Halo franchise carried me through this.

This book does contain interesting lore about the halo universe, but I did find it to be far slower and less exciting than the other halo books I've read.

What begins as a chance encounter between an alien privateer and a human freighter soon catapults all of mankind into a struggle for its very existence. It has been more than a year since humanity first encountered the hostile military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant, and several weeks after the United Nations Space Command’s devastating counterattack of Operation: SILENT STORM was deemed an overwhelming success.
The first in a trilogy, set hundreds of thousands of years before the events of the original “Halo” video game, “Cryptum” digs DEEP into the lore of the Forerunners, the Flood, and the origin of the Halo rings…and it does all of that without ever once even coming close to holding the reader’s hand.
