Rounding out "Tor's" series of reissues of the original three Halo novels, this newly edited and revised edition of "First Strike" is a must-have for all Halo fans. Featuring author Eric Nylund at the helm, this tale bridges the events that take place in the game Halo: Combat Evolved (as novelized in "The Flood") and its blockbuster follow-up, "Halo 2". After destroying the first Halo, Master Chief and Cortana attempt to voyage back home among a myriad of deadly Covenant attacks. With a battle weary squad, that includes the last of the Spartan-II survivors and the program's creator, Dr. Catherine Halsey, "First Strike" delivers an action-packed space opera told against the backdrop of one of the richest and most complex Science Fiction franchises of our time.
