Witness an untold chapter in Halo lore as John Shirley's Halo: Broken Circle takes us to the dawn of the Covenant and the fateful first bargain between the Prophets and the Elites. Broken Circle will explore an Elite splinter group rebelling against the Covenant in its earliest days, a brave Prophet caught in the machinations of the new Covenant leadership, and the root of the betrayal that would ultimately shatter the Covenant during events seen in the blockbuster Xbox video game Halo 2.

female voice overs are a tad hit and miss, I often thought it was another character talking.

female voicing is a tad confusing

as a lore fan, I was happy to get another book. but this one isn't exactly must read. it had a good story and is worth reading for the hardcore fan. but has no bearing on the halo games. or in game universe.

Pretty good book

I loved how this book takes place before everything begins. Shows the rationale in thoughts of the covenant just as it is for me, almost gives you perspective in the covenant.

Simply amazing

too many characters

it's a great one off story that doesn't require you to be knowledgeable about what's happened in other Halo novels

fan fucking tastic

I really enjoyed this book. I didn't want to stop listening and even though im not usually a fan of the covenant story line it was actually very good. Would recommend to any Halo fan!

The deep dive into the Covenants rise and fall was outstanding, even more so the story of the shield world made me feel much more empathetic for the elites and everything they went through.. such a great read

loved it

This was pretty awesome. The way it was planned came out as a really good change from the other books. Like a history lesson that ties in with the rest of the series.

A really good change of pace
