Unabridged Audiobook
This book doesn't start off where Cryptum left off. It takes some adjustment if you're coming off a Cryptum high. It was still interesting though. But once the story line started to tie back together with Cryptum I couldn't stop listening. I really enjoyed it overall and look forward to the next book.
I found it really boring. Cryptum was a lot better.
I read this and listened to it. This book is incredible and puts a new perspective on vital characters in the Halo universe. The story is slow to unravel but it is worth the wait. You cannot go wrong furthering the richness of Halo lore. Greg Bear is awesome. The narrator is amazing as well. He made feel like he really was Chakas.
This definitely qualifies as filling in some blanks. For that, I enjoyed the listen. However, this is not the book for the faint of heart. It’s like the author is trying to appease a certain ideology class in the USA rather than creating an original story line. It’s almost like Bill Gates told his propaganda staff to insert a western freshman philosophy class into a science fiction series and only allowed students from Berkeley and activists from Portland into the editor’s confidence room. The backstory fits better than the writing did.
