Description
The New York Times bestselling series based on the blockbuster Xbox® games continues with the acclaimed story of Spartan Edward Buck—first seen in HALO: ODST and reappearing in HALO 5: GUARDIANS!
While Spartans get all the glory, no soldier―not even the legendary Master Chief―wins a war on his own. Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck and his team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) played a major role in saving Earth from all-out invasion at the end of the Covenant War―acts of bravery and ingenuity that did not go unnoticed by the United Nations Space Command.
Now, after many Spartans have been killed in battle and the Master Chief is listed as MIA, the UNSC decides to create a new generation of Spartans to defend humanity from threats both outside―and within. When they come to Buck with an extraordinary proposition, he is forced to make a life-altering decision. With the Covenant War finally over, is it time for him to retire to the sidelines for a life he could only dream about…or is he prepared to step up and become part of the military’s new blood?

To all the parents who read this
2By The trickster kidI think u should put on parental controls on ur kids iPad if they have one because if they don’t then they have access to inappropriate stuff and u don’t want that to happen to ur child so do it now pls it would really help because if ur kid has safari he can access YouTube and YouTube has some inappropriate stuff so if u want don’t have to but if u want to then get parental controls it’s on the App Store for free also loved this book don’t let ur kids read itGreat!
5By Blurryface2017An amazing quick read. Spartan Buck is just as lovable as master chief.New Blood
3By calmxyz11This book was ok….. Buck is a great character but I think killing off the team especially Rookie was a poor plot line. Rookie represents every Halo player and so instead of killings him off they should have had him also become a Spartan as this would have left that option open for every player to be a Spartan for the future. The betrayal of Mickey just left a bad taste and again was an unnecessary plot item. Let the team fade away to other duties would have been better. Anyways the book was okI LOVE this!!!

5By JEB Stuart 1998The story of our favorite ODST squad and they adapted to that post-war environment with a bit of romance on the side.Good Book Overall
4By The OutcastVirusThe story was really gripping even though it was sidetracked a bit. I like the twists and the lore included in the book. Not the best halo novel, but worth reading.Halo New Blood

5By Ryan beckmannRead book es mucho goodoSidetracked at times, but gripping.
4By No more nicknames96Halo: New Blood is a thrilling read that sometimes forgets that mostly fans of the video game series will be reading this. Whether it be filling chapters with a "Halo ODST" summary or going through examining what certain enemies were like a Wikipedia page. Even though that may be a bit annoying it still manages to give closure and hope for your favorite characters from the ODST. I recommend this to any Halo fan who wants to have a good amount of laughs and maybe even a few tears.Phenomenal!
5By CrudestN1ckand1An excellent book written by an excellent author! Bought the book earlier and if you are think about getting it, YES ABSOLUTLY! Great read!Omg I loved the sample
5By AbudakI'm getting the book right now because the sample was great.Wonderful!
5By AkuBulukuA great addition into the Halo universe. It's nice to get some further insight to some of our favorite characters in the halo franchise. Personally, it was very emotional, it's sad the way some things turned out.
