HALO: The Cole Protocol - Book 6

The New York Times best-seller, based on the award-winning video game series Halo, is part of the expanded universe! It is 2535, the first days of the Human-Covenant War, and the United Nations Space Command has enacted “the Cole Protocol” to protect Earth and its inner colonies from the ruthless alien foe. Many are called upon to eradicate lingering navigation data that could reveal Earth's location and lead to humanity's destruction. Among those tasked with eliminating such dangerous information is Navy Lieutenant Jacob Keyes, who has been given a top-secret mission by the Office of Naval Intelligence. This mission takes him to a corner of the galaxy where nothing is as it seems. Beyond the Outer Colonies lies the planet Hesiod, a gas giant surrounded by a vast asteroid belt. As the Covenant continues to attack human-occupied planets near Hesiod, survivors, along with a stronghold of human insurrectionists, seek refuge in the asteroids. They have transformed the satellites into a tenuous settlement known as the Rubble and have encountered a Covenant settlement of Kig-Yar, somehow managing to survive. News of this unlikely treaty has spread to the warring factions. Fortunately for the UNSC, this uneasy alliance is in the path of the Spartan Gray Team, a three-person renegade squad tasked with causing chaos from behind enemy lines. The Prophets have also sent their most accomplished Elite, whose ambition for nobility and rank is matched only by his brutality.
