2526. It has been a year since humanity engaged in its destructive first contact with a theocratic military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant. Now the hostilities have led to open war, and the United Nations Space Command understands virtually nothing about its new enemy. There are only two certainties-the Covenant is determined to eradicate humanity, and they have the superior technology to do just that.

To further their plans, the insurrectionists have dispatched a sleeper agent to sabotage the UNSC counterattack and ensure that John-117 and the Spartans never return from battle. . . .
