About this audiobook

An original novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

Stripped of armor, might, and memory, the legendary Forerunner warrior known as the Didact was torn from the physical world following his destructive confrontation with the Master Chief and sent reeling into the mysterious depths of a seemingly endless desert wasteland. This once powerful and terrifying figure is now a shadow of his former self—gaunt, broken, desiccated, and alone. But this wasteland is not as barren as it seems. A blue light glints from a thin spire in the far distance…

Thus begins the Didact’s great journey—the final fate of one of the galaxy’s most enigmatic and pivotal figures.

Ratings and reviews

Fourunner saga supercut. If you're familiar to the fourunner saga then this story mostly regales that story for 80% of the time. The rest of the time the story seems to fill in many gaps left by the incompetence of 343i narrative decision heads. All in all this book very much feels like plaster spread thinly over the gaping cracks left by a franchise struggling to find it's feet after losing its way. Kelly Gay is a great author and has written some amazing books in the halo universe.

How the characters are written is S++ tier level. the story flows exceptionally well and I was keep yearning for more, and did not want the boom to end. words csnt describe how much I like this book.
