Personally, I've enjoyed them all to greater and lesser degrees, but none are as vital to an understanding of the Halo mythos, in general, and, especially, the events in Halo 2 as this book. Here is the backstory that the game only implied the existence of, and it is beautifully told. Shirley is an excellent writer, and I'm incredibly grateful for the insights his book brings to the Halo universe. The first Halo game (Combat Evolved) did an excellent job of revealing its story as the game unfolded. I've often said playing the original Halo felt like living in a science fiction novel, and, for me, is why it far surpassed even its excellent gameplay and overall design, and hooked me on the entire universe. Halo 2 again had excellent gameplay, but the story was not as well revealed. In fact, it felt a bit random on first play, albeit still a lot of fun. Replaying it again in the Master Chief Collection, after having read Shirley's book, it's clear they had much of this backstory in mind. But Shirley makes it real, filling in the details, revealing the characters, connecting the dots. Now playing the game again is a blast, specifically because I understand why certain events happen, why certain reactions are what they are, why certain comments are made, that formerly were only suggestive, at best. It's like living in a science fiction novel this time, when it really didn't feel like that the first time, for me. Well, I'm off to finish Halo 2, 3, and 4 again (having recently replayed Halo 1) in delicious anticipation of Halo 5's arrival this Fall. And I hope John Shirley writes more Halo novels, whether they are providing more backstory or exploring new directions. Regardless, thanks John!

Top five Halo books, easy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love the book *by A***N on August 18, 2017* I love the book. I'm not sure if there is some kind of an advisory board on this, but so far I've never encountered a Halo book I didn't like. I bought the audible version of this as well, and the voice actor I do not like. He uses an extremely "Juilliard" voice for every character. Granted the whole book is about the Covenant and their races, but he uses slight variances of the Same fake dialect for every single character. I would be hard pressed to believe that almost anyone wouldn't be able to do better. So One star is deducted for that. That being said, the narration of this book is great, it is structured nicely. All the story lines flow together in just the right ways and it transitions to leave you wanting more without seeming withholding. ## Frequently Bought Together - Halo: Broken Circle (Volume 14) - Halo: The Rubicon Protocol - Halo: Outcasts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/8022031-halo-broken-circle](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/8022031-halo-broken-circle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
