Halo: Fractures - Christie Golden, Troy Denning, Tobias S. Buckell

Thrill once more to stories of galaxy-spanning conflict and inspiring heroism-shards of an ever-expanding universe where human and alien alike face their greatest challenges with their finest hours. Spanning the age of the ancient custodial race known as the Forerunners to the aftermath of the Covenant's holy war and the Great Schism between its people, and continuing to the shocking events surrounding the resurrection of the Guardians and the subsequent artificial intelligence takeover of the Mantle of Responsibility, Fractures explores the legendary tales of bravery and sacrifice that are the very essence of the Halo universe.
