HALO has become one of the most successful science fiction franchises of all time. Its ability to captivate gamers with ground-breaking action is unquestionable. But it's also a spectacular universe, rich with untold stories that have led hundreds of thousands of HALO fans to pick up the novels. The fans are always hungry for more exposure within the HALO universe, and one of the most enigmatic and speculated upon corners within HALO is the ancient engineering race of the Forerunners. They are worshipped by the Covenant as gods. Their engineering relics pepper the galaxy yet their connection to humanity remains unanswered.
Now Hugo and Nebula Award winner and bestselling author Greg Bear takes us deep into the time of the Forerunners. This is the second book in a trilogy that will unlock many secrets of HALO's most mysterious race. HALO fans will for the first time discover just who this race is, how they harnessed technology and engineering the way they did, and what caused them to disappear completely from existence as we know it.
