Linda bought me a sci-fi called HALO Evolutions Volume One for Christmas. This book is based on the game HALO which Microsoft plays a big part in its ownership and distribution. I have seen many of the commercials but never played the game.
What I found interesting is that it takes a snapshot of the entire Halo game timeline. There are nine short stories written by six authors. The first story starts with the origins of who they are. It proceeds through to the human conflicts. The new “Covenant” conflict with a xenophobic species out to get mankind. Finally the book ends with the story of one man’s life and his historic victories over enemy humans and later aliens.
Remember that the stories are snapshots. It almost gets me interested enough to purchase the game… almost. As a sci-fi buff I enjoyed the journey. I will be purchasing the next book in the series when it comes out.
