REACH HAS FALLEN. THE COVENANT WAR MACHINE RAGES ON. HUMANITY'S LAST HOPE LIES WITH THE CREW OF THE PILLAR OF AUTUMN -- CAPTAIN JACOB KEYES, STAFF SERGEANT AVERY JOHNSON, THE AI CORTANA, FEARLESS MARINES, AND SPARTAN 117, THE MASTER CHIEF. After barely escaping the battle for Reach, the crew is forced to jump into Slipspace to evade the alien alliance intent on exterminating humanity. Their destination leads them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this distant part of the universe lies a massive artificial ring world, a construct from a long-lost race. The only chance for survival is to crash land on its surface and confront the Covenant on the ground. However, they soon realize that this ring world, built 100,000 years ago by the Forerunners, is more than it appears. The Covenant worships it as a sacred artifact, seeking to control it for their religious quest for transcendence. As Master Chief and Cortana engage in a fierce ground battle, they delve deep into the Halo Construct to uncover a dark secret: this ring world is the universe's most dangerous weapon, designed to annihilate all sentient life. The Forerunners created Halo to combat a reawakened, virtually unstoppable enemy known as The Flood.
