Halo: Envoy

By: Tobias S. Buckell

Narrated by: Scott Brick

An original full-length novel set in the Halo universe and based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

It has been six years since the end of the Covenant War...and yet on the planet Carrow, a world on the edge of the Joint Occupation Zone, a decisive new battle suddenly erupts. Human colonists and the alien Sangheili have already been living a tension-filled coexistence in this place, with Unified Earth Government envoy Melody Azikiwe attempting to broker a lasting peace between their two species. But as civil war now engulfs the Sangheili, Melody must act on an additional covert assignment courtesy of the Office of Naval Intelligence: free the SPARTAN-IIs known as Gray Team, held in stasis since the end of the war by a cunning Elite fleetmaster consumed with vengeance. And none can anticipate the ongoing violence leading to the discovery of an even greater, unstoppable threat—one hidden for eons below the surface of the planet...

Surprised By The New/Old Enemies

Grey Team need their own game or movie. Would love to see more done with these characters. My only complaint for this book would be that the story is a bit predictable. I pretty much knew the ending mid book. Still a great book regardless, especially for long time Halo Fans .......................................... .......................................................................................................................(Possible spoiler ahead)................................................................................................................................................................One of the enemies in this story will be recognizable to anyone who snooped around the files in Halo 1. Google the enemy name to see the original concept art. I only mentioned this because it was a pleasant surprise to see old ideas for the original game getting recycled for new stories.

Best book in the series!!! Feels like you’re playing a Game

Next to the Fall of Reach this is arguably the best book in the series. It’s full of familiar characters that we’ve grown to love , the character arcs of the new characters as well is brilliant , and the emergence of the new villains is good.

As far as action is concerned this book from page one to the last page its literally full of space battles, ground battles , ship battles and hand to hand combat as this book feels almost like a written version of an Actual Halo game.


I rank the Kilo 5 Karen Traviss novels as the worst in the series , and I rank Eric Nylands Fall of Reach as close to the best. Tobias is a gifted writer and Envoy is arguably the best in the series.

Outsading story writing and impressive narration.

The storyline is outstanding among all The Halo novels which was impressively narrated. This novel is one of those that could be turned into a game such as Reach or ODST that game alongside Halo 3. I Look forward to similar stories on The future. The conflicts in The Halo universe are almost endless!

Envoy

Not a bad story, Scott Brick is at his usual impeccable self. Although, I would've liked the narrator from the Kilo 5 series better. Jo offense to Mr. B of course.
