Halo: Bad Blood

It's essentially HALO: ODST 2 in book form , and acts as a extended ending to Halo 5: Guardians. It's awesome to see that they are keeping up with the characters of Halo: ODST, and getting the band back together ! The books Main plot deals with Sargent Buck and ONI agent Veronica Dare getting the oringinal team back together from the game Halo: ODST to retrieve Forunner tech that can help in the fight against the rouge AI Cortana. The book has lots of action, and cool look into the Halo universe post Halo 5, and Cortana takeover. If your a HALO fan or fan of Military science fiction this is a must read for you.

Halo: Bad Blood was truly one of the best reads. Both bad blood and new blood are among my favorite halo novels, full of everything I enjoy about halo novels including Buck which is one of the best characters. I truly hope there is more to come on this series.

Halo: Bad Blood tries to be 2 different things: a direct follow-up to Halo 5 Guardians that picks up immediately after that game's cliffhanger; and a direct sequel to Halo: New Blood. It succeeds at both of them to varying degrees. First & most effectively, it grants a much-needed sense of scope and perspective to the galaxy under Cortana's thumb. Most of the book is spent on a fun, brisk romp across the Halo universe with likeable characters, giving you a little peek at how the different factions are fairing. This is where the book is at its best in my opinion. As a sequel to New Blood, it fairs a bit more inconsistently. Most of the plot developments are believable given the context of their mission, but a few are not. One particular inclusion arrives completely out of nowhere, but I like what it does for the story and potential sequels enough that I don't really mind. Personal mileage may vary, though. One other plot point feels like a bit of a backpedal on major 'New Blood' developments and I'm not sure it completely works. Even so, if you like the Halo 3 ODST characters at all, then this is probably a no-brainer purchase regardless of how you felt about New Blood or Halo 5.

Wonderful work by Matt Forbeck. A great read for those in love with the Halo Universe. I look forward to more.

This was another great halo book following up I'm what happened with Spartan buck and his team I'm glad to say that this book turn out very well and for those of you thinking who to buy it this takes place after Halo 5 so there is a little lore content plus you get to know what is going on in the universe.

Great addition to the cannon. While I didn't love the previous title (New Blood), this story is told so well and engaging enough I'm thinking about giving New Blood another try. Highly recommend for fans of the series! You don't need to read New Blood to know what's happening, nor even play halo 5, as even though the story may be a continuation of these, it works quite well as a standalone and references are explained as needed.

This was a well written book with lots of meaningful and fun character interactions, and with Buck narrating it has it's fair share of humor. One thing for certain is that this book is more focused on the journey apposed to it's destination, not a bad thing given the 5 stars but that may be important to keep in mind. Additionally this book is the first piece of Halo content to take place after the events of Halo 5 - starting of immediately after the game - and serves as much better ending than the one delivered by the game itself.

A LONG time Halo fan, since 1999 if you can believe that... If you can watch "Firefly" with Nathan Fillion before reading this then do so and it will immensely increase your enjoyment. Hearing it in my head being pronounced by him made it so much better. I can see how Studio 343 is trying to rehabilitate, however briefly, Dr. Halsey in the series and I think that this is a great choice. She is one of the most beloved characters in the series because she was placed in impossible situations by events around her. Her total mentions are trice and only one of them is insulting her which is a record nowadays. The story, outside of the character development , is completely irrelevant to the "Halo" universe because it doesn't really advance the plot any meaningful way which is just fine for me because 343 doesn't know what the heck it is doing anyways. The writing is really good and the author did a great job. I am giving it 4/5 because the story requires a lot of work from the reader to be enable to enjoy. You are going to see characters that should either be dead or unavailable but due to circumstances beyond their control, you are going to see them again no matter how improbable the situation says it is. I constantly kept thinking that it was ridiculous while they were in the story. Whereas other characters could not care less past a few pages when people they have been working with for years are killed.

Una muy buena continuación para leer después de jugar Halo 5 y saber qué es lo que ha pasado obviamente después del juego. Tiene una buena narrativa y además te explica cómo está la situación y más o menos que podríamos esperar en Halo infinite. Una buena compra para Los amantes del lore.

Gutes Buch, spannend aber nicht zu Action überladen.

True to the Halo Universe. Reuniting the reader with beloved characters from Halo 3: ODST. To me it made up for the subpar story that was Halo 5 and took the weakest elements from that and made them enjoyable to read. If nothing else this was a captivating read that was full of action, dialogue and even a fun 'will they won't they' type romance.

El producto ha llegado rapidísimo y en perfecto estado, ¡así da gusto!

Fantastic book, for a Child with Autism that doesn't like reading, he hasn't put it down. Would highly recommend this.
