I would highly recommend any of Nylund's Halo books, this being the best. I liked the fact that this book centered on different characters than just John-117. This book was by far my favorite in the series. Eric Nylund's writing always keeps me entertained, and he always makes me feel connected to the characters.
Also the delivery was fast and the book was in great condition. The book is great and very enticing to any age group. From the beginning I was into the book.
This Book will entertain any Halo fan, but its slow plot makes it hard to read for too long.
That'd be awesome. Just imagine creating your own Spartan III, with the ability to specialize or generalize the character and then play through a post Halo 3 campaign centralizing around fighting the remainders of the Covenant and supressing human colony rebellion, all the while dealing with the side effects of the treatments you willingly subjected yourself to so that you could help humanity. I really hope that Microsoft realizes what a great story Nylund has created here and considers turning it into a game.
The quick summary: It follows Spartan II Kurt and the creation of the (his) Spartan III program. Humanity just doesn't have the ability to make and support many. I just finished this book last night.
The Spartan IIIs however, bridge the gap between normal humans and the seeming superhuman Spartan II, laying out what could be, in my opinion, an even more compelling story and/or video game than what we saw with Halos 1-3. :) I'll be honest, I'm a fan of the Halo video games, but I actually think that Nylund's books step up the story more than the video games ever did, especially 'Onyx'.
The Spartan IIs were always going to be limited because of the genetic requirements outlined in the first book.
Not to mention Onyx has an army of Sentinels all its own. Five star read. This is my favorite of the Halo novels. This definitely my favorite of the novels (and it is so much more than what I had just described). Kudos, Nylund 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.
