When humanity expanded beyond the safety of Earth to new stars and horizons, they never dreamed what dangers they would encounter there. When the alien juggernaut known as the Covenant declared holy war upon the fragile human empire, millions of lives were lost - but, millions of heroes rose to the challenge. In such a far-reaching conflict, not many of the stories of these heroes, both human and alien, have a chance to become legend. This collection holds eleven stories that dive into the depths of the vast Halo universe, not only from the perspective of those who fought and died to save humanity, but also those who vowed to wipe humanity out of existence. Halo: Evolutions features a wide variety of tales set across the span of the Halo universe. Contributing brand-new original stories are Halo novelists Eric Nylund and Tobias Buckell, as well as Halo newcomer Karen Traviss. The collection also includes a number of other bestselling and award-winning writers, as well as contributions from the games writers and creators themselves.
