A Master Chief story and original full-length novel set in the Halo universe - based on the New York Times best-selling video game series!

2526. It has been more than a year since humanity first encountered the hostile military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant, and several weeks after the United Nations Space Command’s devastating counterattack of Operation: SILENT STORM was deemed an overwhelming success. The UNSC has put its faith in the hands of the Spartans, led by the legendary Master Chief, John-117: enhanced super-soldiers raised and trained from childhood via a clandestine black ops project to be living weapons. But the Covenant - enraged and fearful of their enemy’s unexpected strategies and prowess - is not taking its recent defeat lightly, and is now fully determined to eradicate humanity from existence, brutally overrunning the ill-fated planets of the Outer Colonies faster than retreats can be ordered.

If the UNSC has any chance of stemming the tide of the war, the Master Chief and Blue Team must drop onto an empty, hellish world in order to capture a disabled Covenant frigate filled with valuable technology. It has all the makings of a trap, but the bait is far too tempting to ignore - and this tantalizing prize is being offered by a disgraced and vengeful Covenant fleetmaster, whose sole opportunity for redemption lies in extinguishing humanity’s only hope of survival....

Dull and Shallow

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2019

Below average plot and dialogue. Story is difficult to finish as you are really thrust into a mindset that the goal of the mission is toxic from the very start of the book. It smacks of a panicked writer with a deadline and no vision for how these ‘young John-117’ novels are expected to go. Silent Storm was good, this is poor.

La presentación es excelente. Pasta dura con un cubre polvo con foil y un gran diseño de Master Chief.
La historia es muy buena, contando una de las primeras misiones de un joven Blue Team. Es continuación directa de Silent Storm, pero en comparación creo que éste es un poco más débil. No recuerdo que se llegue a explorar mucho las personalidades de los personajes principales pero siempre es bueno leer a John y compañía. Ojalá Troy Denning nos de un mejor desarrollo de Blue Team en su próxima novela Shadows of Reach, la que será la tercera entrega de ésta saga (los considero una saga ya que estas novelas llevan el subtitulo de A Master Chief Story).

Its alright, but not as good as Silent Storm

Reviewed in Canada on 3 April 2020

This book got off to a good start, but kinda dragged its feet for 2/3's of the book. Compared to Silent Storm, which felt like a high intensity battle from beginning to end, Oblivion seems starts strong but then sorta slogs its way to the end. There are a few battles here and there that snag your interest but for roughly half the book(it felt like it at least), characters will just be basically walking around or dwelling on disagreements earlier in the book.

Honestly, this book felt like it dragged on and on and on to the point that I wanted it to end so I could stop reading it. Its really shocking how this book is such a stark contrast from Silent Storm. Between the characters semi-constant inner monologues/thoughts and the walking/running/driving to the objective, this book really never ends up going anywhere meaningful. The few battles in the book are good, but they are few and far between(you'll have to slog through alot of the previously mentioned to get to them). This book adds basically nothing significant to the Halo universe from a lore perspective, so if your a halo lore fan, this book is a solid pass. Extra star for the cover art though, it looks really awesome.

I suspect I'll probably not read this again for a very long time. Overall I would recommend Halo: Oblivion as this will likely end up being a trilogy along with Silent Storm.

Great Halo Book!

I personally enjoyed this book a lot. The first five chapters were an amazing introduction. The highlights were the intense combat, John-117’s inner thoughts, and the overall gritty atmosphere. It also showcased that despite John and the other Spartans of Blue team having the best training, the best equipment, and being supersoldiers 500 years into the future, his lack of combat experience limited his ability to turn the tide in that first battle.

The rest of the book after the initial battle was filled with back and forths between Blue team traversing through a hostile environment to complete their next big objective and the Covenant Sangheili’s perspective on trying to hunt down the Spartans. I was thoroughly entertained throughout the entire journey.

Troy Denning’s strongest ability is his attention to detail. The way he describes the MJOLNIR armour the Spartans wear gave off Iron Man vibes, which I thought were a very nice touch. There was also a reference made to planet Gao, the setting of Halo: Last Light, which I think fans of that book would appreciate.
