Halo: Retribution

By: Troy Denning

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!

December 2553. Less than a year after the end of the Covenant War, a string of violent incidents continues to threaten the tenuous peace in human-held space, culminating in the assassination of UNSC fleet admiral Graselyn Tuwa and the abduction of her family. It is a provocation so outrageous that the Office of Naval Intelligence must retaliate swiftly and ferociously—but only after its operatives identify her killer and rescue the hostages.

This mission will be the first for homicide-detective-turned-ONI-operative Veta Lopis and her young team of Spartan-IIIs, and some­thing feels wrong from the start. The obvious suspect is an infamous Brute dokab who leads the Keepers of the One Freedom, a Covenant splinter group in fierce opposition to the UNSC. But Lopis and her team soon realize that the truth is much more insidious than they could ever have imagined, and along with Fred-104, Kelly-087, and Linda-058 of Blue Team for combat support, must stop a plan hatched in the bowels of the secret research station Argent Moon—a plan so sinister it could destroy all those still reeling from thirty years of inter­galactic conflict...

Outstanding

I cant get enough of this story i need more.....shows again how one person can change everything. Also how a spartan can be run over by a ten tone vehicle lol. More please!

Troy Denning and Scott Brick bring this story to life

I’m an avid Halo fan and seeing an author put so much effort into an extended universe story is wonderful. The continuation of Inspector Lopez’s story lives up to and exceeds the previous one. Together with Scott Brick’s dedication to creating the voices for the novel makes it a very exciting read. Would recommend for Halo and science fiction fans alike.

Fewer drama parts which is a good thing.

Good story only negative for me is the drama thrown in here and there. Fortunately the ap has a fast forward button so these parts can be skipped.

Amazing addition to the Halo Universe

It is unfortunate that the book wasn't as long as its predecessors, but as the saying goes, quality over quantity.

Good read

Excellent addition to Halo cannon. Very interesting use of characters. The AI working behind the scenes is interesting. Hope it carries over into further books and games.
