This is how it began...It is the year 2524. Harvest is a peaceful, prosperous farming colony on the very edge of human-controlled space. But we have trespassed on holy ground--strayed into the path of an aggressive alien empire known as the Covenant. What begins as a chance encounter between an alien privateer and a human freighter catapults mankind into a struggle for its very existence.But humanity is also locked in a bitter civil war known as the Insurrection. So the survival of Harvest's citizens falls to a squad of battle-weary UNSC Marines and their inexperienced colonial militia trainees. In this unlikely group of heroes, one stands above the rest...a young Marine staff sergeant named Avery Johnson.
Spurensuche Zu Beginn des verheerenden Krieges gegen die Allianz erlässt die UNSC das sogenannte Cole-Protokoll – eine Generalorder, die es für die außerirdischen Aggressoren unmöglich machen soll, den Weg zur Erde zu finden. Ein Heer von Agenten wird damit beauftragt, quer durch die Galaxis alle verräterischen Navigationsdaten zu neutralisieren. Unter diesen Agenten befindet sich auch der ins Abseits manövrierte Marine-Lieutenant Jacob Keyes. Der Geheimdienst der Navy holt ihn wieder aus der Versenkung und schickt ihn auf eine heikle Mission, die ihn weit hinter die feindlichen Linien führt. Ein Kommando Unternehmen, bei dem nur eins sicher scheint – der Tod. Eine actiongeladene Story aus den Anfängen des erbarmungslosen Krieges zwischen Erde und Allianz!
