One step closer to Finishing the Fight,
Lets face it. If you are a huge Halo universe fan, ‘Ghosts of Onyx’ is a must-read. The games don’t give you the full picture of what’s going on in the Halo-verse. Without reading the books (of which there are now four), you’ll never know the full story behind the genesis of the SPARTAN project, Master Chief’s origin, what started the conflict between us and the Convenant or the scope of the Forerunner’s domain.
And if you are like me, you were pretty annoyed with the ending of Halo 2 and MC’s cryptic statement “I’m finishing this fight, sir.”
‘Ghosts of Onyx’ brings you up to speed with what’s been happening to the other SPARTAN warriors whilst MC galavants around the galaxy throwing monkeywrenches in the Covenant’s plan for universal suicide. He details the creation of yet another SPARTAN unit (the SPARTAN III) from orphans left behind by our war with the Covenant. He brings back some familiar characters from his previous Halo novels (Dr. Halsey, Col. Ackerman) and continues his penchant for giving these brave SPARTAN warriors overly simplistic names like Tom, Kelly and Kurt.
If yer a Halo fan, you’ll be pleased as punch. Maybe its a bad thing that to get the full picture of the Halo-verse, you simply have to read the Halo books. But hey, it’d be kinda hard to cram all of that narrative between every reload of your assault rifle. Me? I’m of the mind that anything that gets you to read is inherently good. Maybe this series will get a few kids to drop their XBox360 controllers and head to a bookstore.
This book whetted my Halo appetite, if only for a little while. Finishing ‘Ghosts of Onyx’, you feel as if we are one step closer to finishing the fight.
