Halo Envoy is not just one of the best halo novels I have read, it is one of the best sci-fi novels I have read. Buckell’s first book Cole Protocol was fun but had lots of dead chapters and doesn’t come together until the 2nd half. With Envoy he not only fixed any writing mistakes he had, he ascends to Eric Nylund levels of Greatness. Set 6 years after the end of the Human/Covenant war the planet Carrow is in disarray. Both humans and Elites have settled on it and have a strained peace. Our book...

There are few things I love more in life than a pleasant surprise. To boot: I wasn’t the biggest fan of Tobias Buckell’s first “Halo” novel, “The Cole Protocol” – to me, it was a classic case of “too much exposition, not enough heart.” As a result, I went into Buckell’s follow-up,” Halo: Envoy,” basically expecting more of the same militaristic, hyper-detailed plotting that caked the wheels of that novel. But shocker of all shocks: not only is “Halo: Envoy” a SIZEABLE improvement over its predec...

I rather wait to the next Troy Denning's book.

Writing and plotting for 12 year old readers.Someone should educate the author. A fission nuclear bomb is not a battery into which you can plug an extension cord to power a city. Fission bombs contain a radioactive core element such as U-235. It emits heat if not shielded. It does not emit electricity without a steam engine. A radioactive power source such as the one powering the Voyager spacecraft is very low power heat that is converted to electricity by convection (I believe that's the term?)...

Sangheili carried this book through. The brief backstory of Rojka was a treat to read, and how they're coping with the loss of the Covenant and beginning the alliance with the humans is a new breath for me as far as i've read into the 343 era books. The governor Ellis story is not fun or entertaining to read, as her story feels forced into the mix. Gray team also feels unique from all other Spartan teams, more isolated and doing their own thing with not that much UNSC chains in their command. Ov...

Halo: Envoy by Tobiass Buckell is a video game tie-in novel based Microsoft/343 Industries Halo video game franchise, and the second book of the Grey Team trilogy. Halo: Envoy, is set in 2558 six years after the Master Chief Spartan 117 saved the Galaxy from the Flood and the remnants of the Covenant, and brought a fragile peace to the galaxy. This tension filled coexistence between former enemies has brought the people of the Planet Carrow into conflict. Human settlers and the Sangheili locals

Grey Team AwakensI always enjoy a good Halo story, and this one fits the bill. Glad to finally have a stockpile of new Halo books to read. On to the next!

I loved it.More questions answered to so many theories. I'm looking forward to see what this author and many more have in store for the halo universe.

Very goodAnother good addition to the series. Grabbed me from chapter one and held my attention throughout. Definitely Worth the read.

Yes... that was, another halo book. Yep... God its just so many fight scenes. Its exhausting, please give me some interesting character development, some plot for anyone older than 12, anything please

My favourite book in years!

War, peace, and the cycle of revenge is extensively discussed in this fantastic new addition to the Halo franchise. There's a war on an independent human world between the Elite and human settlers with three marooned Spartans caught up in the middle. Lots of great references to Halo Wars 2 and previous volumes. It's also a message of trying to figure out how to make peace after much violence with few "real" villains. The narrator does a great job too.

Slow to get going, but excellent in the endAs a Halo book addict, I have hard tastes to match when it comes to these novels. While this book took a while to get interesting, the second half was very exciting. Looking forward to more such novels in the future.

One of the best Halo novels since the original Bungie-era books. Admittedly it can be a tad predictable in a few places; pandering to the tried-and-true sci-fi tropes, but immensely enjoyable nonetheless.I'm also happy to report that if you've never read a Halo novel before, you absolutely can start reading with this book. (though it would help if you've played a Halo game before, obviously) I think 343 has realized that the extended universe has gotten a bit dense lately, and Envoy represents a...

Great book. If you are looking to read about gray team or human Sanghelli relations this is the book for you. Try it out

As is usual with any book in the Halo series it's a book you just can't put down.Here we have three Spartan II's that have been in stasis for 6 years.Around the planet Carrow their is an uneasy co-existence between humanity and a remnant of the covenant forces.This is soon destroyed by an overzealous Sanghelli Kaidon and the action cranks up dramatically.Throw in a new enemy and it's a fully blown out war.Recommended as are all the other books in the series

I listen to this book via Audible.Halo: Envoy features the return of Gray Team, who we last saw in Cole Protocol, also written by Tobias Buckell. It's nearly seven years after the Human-Covenant War ended (the events of Halo 3), but Jai-006, Adrianna-111, and Mike-120 have been in cryosleep the entire time, oblivious to the changing world around them.The story takes place on Carrow, a planet in the Joint Occupation Zone, and one of the few that features both human and Sangheili colonies. As a re...

"The question you should be asking is...what are the Sharquoi?"This is a wonderful Halo novel.This book reads like a Star Wars story - it's cheesy and delightfully action packed and interspersed with discussion about UNSC and ONI protocol. This book is slow to start, but it's worth it once it gets going. The highlight of this book is of course the Spartan II's of Gray Team but also puts us in the reality of the world that they're in. We get a lot of explanation of the world in the beginning - wh...

The story has a good premise in post-war times. It just took too long to get the point, a common theme among a few of the newer Halo novels. It seems like the authors aren’t allowed to go too deep. Maybe that’s because 343 Industries wants the deep, space-opera level stories to be told by the games. The conversations in “Envoy” between the Elites and the main character are the best part of this novel. It’s interesting to see the Elites as victims of their own religion and war, struggling to surv...

Another great halo novelAnother great halo novel. Love the Spartans, love the continuing storyline in the halo universe. I look forward to more.
