( Rounding out Tor's series of reissues of the original t...)
Rounding out Tor's series of reissues of the original three Halo novels, this newly edited and revised edition of First Strike is a must-have for all Halo fans. Featuring author Eric Nylund at the helm, this tale bridges the events that take place in the game Halo: Combat Evolved (as novelized in The Flood) and its blockbuster follow-up, Halo 2. After destroying the first Halo, Master Chief and Cortana attempt to voyage back home among a myriad of deadly Covenant attacks. With a battle weary squad, that includes the last of the Spartan-II survivors and the program's creator, Dr. Catherine Halsey, First Strike delivers an action-packed space opera told against the backdrop of one of the richest and most complex Science Fiction franchises of our time.

Eliot and Fiona Post are twins caught up in an epic custody battle between their mother's and father's families. Their mother is the immortal goddess Atropos, the eldest Fate, and their father is Lucifer, Lord of the infernals, a diabolical fallen angel. The families have put them through rigorous, life-threatening challenges, and together they've risen to combat them in amazing ways. But now they are facing the greatest trial of all―high school. Paxington Unviersity is no normal high school―it's a place where gods and goddesses, warriors and socerers learn to harness their power, where a debate in class can end in a duel, and your classmates aren't simply friends or enemies, but allies in battle or threats to your life. To flunk is to die--only the toughest graduate. As Fiona and Eliot struggle to keep up their grades by surviving the rigorous training, both families are watching. High school is bad enough, but imagine being caught in the midst of an immortal/infernal war...

When humanity expanded beyond the safety of Earth to new stars and horizons, they never dreamed what dangers they would encounter there. When the alien juggernaut known as the Covenant declared holy war upon the fragile human empire, millions of lives were lost―but, millions of heroes rose to the challenge. In such a far-reaching conflict, not many of the stories of these heroes, both human and alien, have a chance to become legend. This collection holds eleven stories that dive into the depths of the vast Halo universe, not only from the perspective of those who fought and died to save humanity, but also those who vowed to wipe humanity out of existence.

(The Halo series is explosive military science fiction at ...)
The Halo series is explosive military science fiction at its best. These first three titles—The Fall of Reach, The Flood, and First Strike—chronicle the bloody Human-Covenant War on Halo. The Fall of Reach finds the Covenant, a powerful alien enemy determined to wipe out humankind, working to lead humans into a devastating intergalactic war on the distant planet Reach—a planet that is crucial to each side's victory. But Reach holds a closely guarded secret: It is the training ground for the very first "super soldiers," code-named SPARTANs. And as the ferocious Covenant attack begins, a handful of SPARTANs stand ready to wage ultimate war. They will kill, they will be destroyed, but they will never surrender. And at least one of them—the SPARTAN known as Master Chief—will live to fight another day on a mysterious and ancient, artificial world called Halo. The Human-Covenant War reaches its boiling point on the mysterious ring world called Halo in The Flood. Captain Keyes, his crew of a few hundred marines, and the Master Chief flee the carnage in a cruiser and crash-land on Halo. Built by a long-dead race, Halo harbors many deadly secrets, but one overshadows them all. Now the Master Chief leads the scattered troops in a brutal race to unravel Halo's darkest mystery—and unleash its greatest source of power. In First Strike, it falls to the Spartan known as the Master Chief to rescue survivors and evade the Covenant ships patrolling the remains of Halo in debris-strewn space. Ahead lies a dangerous voyage home through a gauntlet of Covenant forces. For the sake of all, the Master Chief and his war-torn squad must not only survive but take the fight to the enemy with a decisive first strike.

From the ruins of the Moon, Jack Potter, mathematician and rogue cryptographer, can look down on the planet he helped destroy. Thanks to the treachery of an all-but-omnipotent alien known as Wheeler--Jack's former business partner in the trade of alien and human technologies--Earth has become the graveyard of billions. When Jack refused to find new worlds for Wheeler to despoil, the unscrupulous alien terminated their relationship...along with every living thing on Earth. But Jack and a handful of others escaped the holocaust by using an alien technology known as the gateway technology that allows instantaneous transmission of matter over vast distances. Now these few survivors are all that's left of the human race. There is Isabel, Jack's ex-partner. A genius in the field of cybernetics as cold-blooded and devious as Wheeler, her only loyalty is to herself. She's betrayed Jack already; how can he afford to trust her again but more important, how can he afford not to? There is Zero, the gene witch, whose talents in the manipulation on DNA have accelerated evolution, opening the door to the full achievement of human potential. Unfortunately, Zero has a bad habit of experimenting on himself. There is Panda, a beautiful Chinese assassin who can kill as easily with her mind as with her hands. She tried to murder Jack back on Earth... but somehow Jack can't keep himself from falling in love with her. Meanwhile, Wheeler is out to finish what he started...and the universe isn't big enough for Jack to hide in. His only hope is the gateway. If he can hack into the device and decrypt its alien coding, he may learn the secret of a power great enough to destroy even Wheeler. The only problem is, it's much more likely to destroy Jack first.
