October 2559. It has been a year since the renegade artificial intelligence Cortana issued a galaxy wide ultimatum,subjecting many worlds to martial law under the indomitable grip of her Forerunner weapons. Outside her view,the members of Blue Team-John-117,the Master Chief; Fred-104; Kelly-087; and Linda-058-are assigned from the UNSC Infinity to make a covert insertion onto the ravaged planet Reach. Their former home and training ground-and the site of humanity's most cataclysmic military defeat near the end of the Covenant War-Reach still hides myriad secrets after all these years.

Establishing themselves as a vicious occupying force on the devastated planet,this enemy will soon transform Blue Team's simple retrieval operation into a full-blown crisis. And with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance,mission failure is not an option....
