With the Covenant War over, the
Office of Naval Intelligence faces old grievances rising again to
threaten Earth. The angry, bitter colonies, still with scores to settle
from the insurrection put on hold for thirty years, now want justice—and
so does a man whose life was torn apart by ONI when his daughter was
abducted for the SPARTAN-II program. Black ops squad Kilo-Five find
their loyalties tested beyond breaking point when the father of their
Spartan comrade, still searching for the truth about her
disappearance,prepares to glass Earth’s cities to get an answer. How far
will Kilo-Five go to stop him? And will he be able to live with the
truth when he finds it? The painful answer lies with a man long dead,
and a conscience that still survives in the most unlikely, undiscovered
place.
