Master Chief: Who he is, where he came from, how he became MC, the battles he fought. If you think this book will demystify John aka Master Chief, think again! You will know who he is as a human, the face behind the helmet, the fighting machine, and still be intrigued and mystified.

Eric Nylund writes a brilliant sci-fi novel that combines the mythology of the Spartans/Master Chief, the game lore of Halo, the mystery of the Covenant, the nightmare of the Flood, all mixed with fantastic sci-fi action and intrigue. Out of the majority of the Halo series I've read, I personally believe that Eric Nylund's novels are the most memorable.

You don't need to have played Halo to read and enjoy the book. But if do play and enjoy Halo, you should read this book - the whole series. Adds a whole new dimension to the Halo universe. Enjoy it!
