Publisher's summary

The thrilling short-story collection featuring Jeff VanderMeer, Karen Traviss, and Eric Nylund - part of the expanded universe based on the New York Times best-selling video game series Halo!

When humanity expanded beyond the safety of Earth to new stars and horizons, it never dreamed what dangers would be encounter there. When the theocratic alien juggernaut known as the Covenant declared war upon the fragile human empire, millions of lives were lost - but millions of heroes also rose to the challenge. In such a far-reaching conflict, not many tales of the brave have a chance to become legend.

This collection of 11 stories dives into the depths of the vast Halo universe, not only from the perspective of those who fought and died to save humanity, but also from those who vowed to wipe it out of existence.

Engaging and captivating

Hearing Steve and Jen voice John and Cortana for their respective stories was thrilling in addition to the wonderful work during the rest of the collection

It was nice to listen to

The stories were really interesting and gives a little more to the world of the Halo Universe. I loved hearing about the different stories outside the main games. The voices reading the books were really nice, and added to the characters by actually speaking in a tone that fits the feeling of the moment
really good for long bus rides

Great stories from the Halo universe

I loved everything about this book. I enjoyed all the stories and those who narrated it. I wish some of the story's had their own book. I would love to listen to a longer version of the "Mona Lisa" story.
10/10 I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves Halo.

essential

it says 'essential tales from the halo universe' for a very good reason. I was skeptical at first, because i enjoy trilogies, anthologies, series, etc. so I was worried it would be hard to get into, but I was very very wrong. each story was well written and well executed. and it definitely didn't hurt to have the voice of master chief and cortana themselves, narrating their stories.

Great In the Car

I travel a lot by car, not long distances, but 1-4hrs. This book is perfect for that. Because it's an anthology the short stories are perfect as you can finish them quickly and most of the time are finished in one drive. Also if you are a Halo fan, it's great to see other parts of the lore. Very well written and voice acted. My only complaint is I want Master Chief stories to be narrated by Steve Downes all the time thanks to this. He did a phenomenal job!

some audio issues but a good collection of stories

a couple stories had some skipping or cutting out but other wise was good. i enjoyed the listening of a book that would of taken me a year to finish. what was suppose to be a brake from the main halo books was turned into an amazing following of some characters and stories i will never forget.
