 Rating:  - A Great BookThis book is amazing i listen to the audio book unabridged (No Deleted Parts) and i have to say the that the science is acurate but i some of it you cannot say weither it is true or not. An amazing book. Rating: - He's not the last oneVery enjoyable book, was gripped right up to the end. I know some people were bothered about it not having Spartan 117 in the book an awful lot, but that made the book even more compelling to read on. Again still none the wiser as to what happened to all the forerunner even after the discovery of the shield world. Although playing Halo 3 and actively searching out the 'terminals' and reading them you get a slight picture as to what happened to them. (A clue to this - IT INVOLVES 343 GUILTY SPARK) Although i am beginning to see another book coming out or maybe a spin off. If you have completed Halo 3 on 'legendary' you get a sneaky wee cutscene showing the remains of the frigate 'Forward Unto Dawn' containing the chief and Cortana tumbling ... Read More: Rating:  - Worth a read if you're a big Halo fanThis latest novel in the Halo series is a slight departure from the others in that it barely features the Master Chief and instead focuses on a top secret ONI training centre on the mysterious planet Onyx. Here the UNSC are training a new breed of super soldier, the SPARTAN-III. It also (conveniently) turns out that Onyx houses a Forerunner installation, which of course the humans ultimately run into and then the Covenant turn up, as they wouldn't mind a look either. If you haven't played the Halo games or read any of the other books, I strongly suggest you do before tackling this one. It gives you a bit more depth to the overall plot of the series and lays some hints in the direction of Halo 3. It's also ... Read More: Rating:  - Great books for people who never read!If you're the kind of person who doesn't actually read much and just plays lots of videogames I'm sure the Halo books are a great waste of time. For people who read real books however the plots are predictable, shallow, and jingoistic, and the writing's terrible. If you've friends recommending you these books first think: are they primarily readers or gamers? It's bound to be the latter, because somebody who reads widely but acknowledge these books to be trite crap. Rating: - Just when you think you have a handle on this writer....If you've read my First Strike review, you'll know that I've rated Eric Nylund for taking the Halo franchise and making it his own. As he raises the bar yet again in this novel, I can only imagine that the game designers at Bungie are now awaiting his next instruction with sycophantic adoration. It is a very different story to Last Strike and the Fall of Reach. Where as these two previous novels aim to flesh out the exiting Halo mythology whilst splicing the Halo game plots into a coherent, character-rich space opera, Ghosts of Onyx back tracks the story to a parallel plot line concerning the shadowy exploits of an ONI splinter cell and the emotional hardships spawned by the horrors of their actions on the Spartan commissioned ...
