In the war against the vicious and zealous Covenant, no one battle is the most important, no one soldier can save Humanity. From massive battles around distant stars, to close shootouts in the remains of human cities, each moment is important. And as the seemingly unstoppable Covenant juggernaut splinters, suddenly enemies become cautious allies. These are the stories of the HALO universe.
This book holds 11 short stories of varying length. Some are only a few pages, other could have been stand alone books. It was a nice sample of talent from different authors. And because of this mix of talent, some stories are much better than others. Most of the stories are good, however one story in particular seems to drag on and on. The story is really convoluted and hard to follow. It jumps around a lot, and is sometimes unclear about which characters are being referenced. However its still a pretty good short. It doesn't wrap any major plot ends, but it adds a lot of depth to the HALO universe.
