About this ebook

An original full-length novel set in the Halo universe and based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

August 2558. Rion Forge was once defined by her relentless quest for hope amidst the refuse and wreckage of a post-Covenant War galaxy—years spent searching for family as much as fortune. But that was before Rion and the crew of her salvager ship Ace of Spades encountered a powerful yet tragic being who forever altered their lives. This remnant from eons past, when the Forerunners once thrived, brought with it a revelation of ancient machinations and a shocking, brutal history. Unfortunately, the Ace crew also made dire enemies of the Office of Naval Intelligence in the process, with the constant threat of capture and incarceration a very real possibility. Now with tensions mounting and ONI forces closing in, Rion and her companions commit to this being’s very personal mission, unlocking untold secrets and even deadlier threats that have been hidden away for centuries from an unsuspecting universe....

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.

Edit- overall a decent read. it wasn't very action based. more of an informational filler before the next book or episode of a tv show. 3 stars because of a bad error described below. 17 pages in and I find a VERY glaring screw-up in her writing. she refers to the end of halo wars one and says that John forge detonated a fusion reactor from the spirit of fire. FALSE- he did detonate the SLIPSPACE DRIVE. that's a very different piece of technology. did nobody proofread this? there should be someone who checks the book for lore inconsistencies and stuff like this.

I very strongly enjoyed this side story of Rion Forge and this extended plot of her adventures with guilty spark. It was very enjoyable all the way through. There were many point of view shifts throughout and it really helped mix things up without getting confusing. For some reason I started this Rion Forge storyline with this book, and I can't wait to read the others!
