It is 2553, and the three-decade long Covenant War that defined a generation has suddenly drawn to a close. Yet in the remotest parts of human space, tensions remain that threaten to overflow into another full-scale conflict. Beneath the surface of the planet Gao lies a vast cavern system renowned for its therapeutic effects and rumored miraculous cures. But now Gao natives are turning up brutally murdered down there - violent acts that happen to coincide with the recent arrival of a UNSC research battalion protected by Spartan Blue Team, led by the renowned Spartan-II Fred-104.

Maverick detective Veta Lopis of the Gao Ministry of Protection is only trying to do her job as the Special Inspector assigned to catch a serial killer - one who is possibly hiding within the Spartan ranks - but she never anticipates the situation spiraling out of control into an all-out crisis. When Gao is revealed to harbor ancient Forerunner technology that could solidify the UNSC's military supremacy for centuries to come, Insurrection loyalists within the planetary government will do anything - even align with a vicious faction of what remains of the Covenant - to ensure that never happens.

A great Halo read

Reviewed in Australia on 9 October 2015

To be simple; a fantastic addition to the Halo universe.
It has been quite some time since a Halo story entirely focused around any Spartans, let alone Spartan II's. The release of this ahead of Halo 5: Guardians was a great way to remind fans that the Spartan II's, and even III's, despite their differences from normal humans, are still very human.
The temperament and relationships between Fred, the Gammas, and Veta were all very fun and interesting to read, painting a great picture of how the two first groups of Spartans have evolved as people.
The entire situation on Gao was another wonderfully executed piece. It painted the situation of Human expansion in a very interesting manner. And obviously the post war state has lead to interesting social and political developments across all Human worlds.
The only real down point I found was Intrepid Eye, which seemed ironic considering the story was about finding her. Her involvement seemed unfocused, but still interesting in itself. Wendell was also an odd inclusion. He was written similarly in usage to BB from the Kilo-Five trilogy, so it felt suggested that he was a smart AI, but there was never much clarity on him.
But I loved how there were elements of the Kilo-Five trilogy (which was a huge let down) that were really elevated in relevance and enjoyment in this book.

One of my favourite Halo books

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 October 2016

Verified Purchase

Last light is is really well written book focusing on a smaller scale story than many of its predecessors. This really helps when introducing the various Spartans and Inspector Lopis. It still had plenty of kick ass action but the story is really about the Spartans and learning a little more about what was done to them.
It also serves as a starting point for the return of Blue team that played such a big role in Halo 5.

Sooo good with story/characters and Lore

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2015

Very happy about reading this book; It had beloved old characters as well as new ones I've as inspector Veta Lopis (my new favourite character in the halo universe). The over all story was great and lots of new information about the halo universe! And dying to know what happens to the characters and 'things', perhaps more books?

Not bad at all

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2016

Definitely enjoyable, and worth a read.
I'm not sure how much it added to the HALO story as a whole. But an enjoyable ride.
I read this and Halo:Hunters In The Dark, I actually preferred that one slightly, but still, two great books.

One of the best halo books i have ever read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 June 2016

Verified Purchase

One of the best halo books i have ever read, i love the main character, and i want to see so much more of her, whether thats in a game, or a book. the plot was excellent, and really helped to understand some aspects of the halo universe better, such as the anti-UEG/UNSC feelings on the colonies. over all great, and i hope that in some way there is a continuation of this story, and it's characters.
