The last mention of Sparks doing the same trick ODST O'brien did in Halo Legends: The Babysitter when Cal-141 told him to "Take the shot! O'brien now! your the only one who can do it" is a touching legacy, from Killing a Prophet and Dying to a Chieftan, Sparks turned the tables and killed the Chieftan and Lived.

Not a replacement for playable stories, but still great. I'm glad someone still cares about the expanded universe of halo. GREAT JOB AUDIOBOOK TEAM!

Yes, the only thing I always wanted for the franchise is a Halo game focused only on story and that is anually expandable like Destiny 2.

The Sunray 1-1 section of this audiobook was so cute. I'm so happy these audiobooks exist, as they add so much extra lore to the story.

[@ometony]

Fireside Spirit of Fire for the win! Listening back again is so rewarding, the goosebumps as I reflect on what their sacrifice has cost them and how their estranged reality has forged a new family again. The Spirit of Fire becomes a spirit of hope. Halo, always and forever

[@DonCamargo]

I love seeing soldiers being soldiers especially in halo it doesn’t always have to be death and destruction sometimes it can just be a squad of helljumpers telling stories around a campfire to boost morale

[@HolyCrusaderGrim]

HALO WARS STUFF LET'S GOOOO

[@AlexSummary]

Please! Continue with these audiobooks. They’re very enjoyable, and I was wanting more Halo content.

[@woodsyjones]

I absolutely love the extended lore of the Halo universe. Hands down the greatest place to get lost in 💙

[@phd9335]

As someone who's read every novel/novella, I agree. It's so good.

[@Mega-Brick]

Some of it's better than others, in my opinion. A lot of it just feels like needless filler, while other parts of the setting that seem genuinely interesting are just ignored.

[@phd9335]

@@Mega-Brick I do agree to some extent. My least favorite book is most likely Legacy of Onyx mainly because while interesting in concept and at times, overall the story was just really boring and just seemed like a worse version of Meridian Divide

[@MEGAbrandon281]

Oh how I yearn for more Spirit of Fire/ Red Team content and lore

[@Zivin]

Amazing, I love the Spirit of Fire stuff as I really loved Halo Wars and Halo Wars 2. For any who want to know the timeline where this fits, this is after the vanilla Halo Wars 2 but before the Awakening the Nightmare DLC for Halo Wars 2. (Awakening the Nightmare took place in June 2559, Halo Infinite takes place in 2560. This book starts in May 2559).

What I want to know is when are we going to see the crew of the Spirit of Fire again. They are still fighting the Banished on the Ark and since Halo Wars 2's Legendary ending shows Anders getting out of sleep space and getting captured by a Guardian what is the next step? Hope we don't have to wait another decade to see the outcome.

[@Void-Machinimates]

This might not be a story of Flood nightmares, Spartan adventures or Elite alliances. But it certainly has become my favorite of the Chronicles.

More Spirit of Fire stories

[@Wuunderboy]

Please make a campaign add on to Halo Infinite that once you complete it, will automatically unlock a new multiplayer gamemode. This campaign add on like SPV3's "the commander evolved" mission; but by Keeping the open world formula only a little bit and making it mostly scripted. Make it where you play in first person as high ranking gold zealot elite who works directly for the Arbiter and owns his own classic covenant style battle cruiser.(A ship a part of the Arbiter's fleet). This Battle Cruiser like most of Arbiters fleet is full of crews of classic style armored elites, grunts and hunters (but almost all of the armor for low ranks are in green coloration) with classic covenant style guns and vehicles (like blue plasma rifles, covenant carbines, needle rifles, classic plasma pistols with the emp effect, the once purple ghosts and banshees are now green just like their green Halo 3 phantoms, Green Halo 2 Spectres, blue Halo 3 wraiths, now green and silver Halo 2 and 3 Scarabs, etc.). This gold zealot ship master you play as is ordered by the Arbiter to take his cruiser ship to the new Halo ring and to find and rescue the Master Chief; along with saving any and all Marines along the way who survived the destruction of the Infinity ship. Which allows the game to introduce not only all the old covenant weapons and vehicles thanks to the zealot elite you play as and his ship.. but also the UNSC soldiers you save will reintroduce guns like the SMG, classic shotgun, etc. And the Banished you face will also have some memorable weapons they utilize like red brute plasma rifles, Spikers, Brute Shots, etc. Where the midpoint of the campaign after battling much Banished forces, you find yourself on another part of the ring fighting the banished and have to soon fight the flood as you find the Banished accidently let the flood within the ring loose. Making you and your classic elites grunts and hunters (and whatever few marines you find), now have to fight against The Banished, The Flood, and many kinds of sentinels. At the end of the campaign with huge Scarab battles (old covenant scarabs vs Banished Scarabs) ends, you unlock the new multiplayer gamemode in Halo infinite that follows "Helldivers 2" formula. Only, its where you drop in, in third person, as classic style elites from elite drop pods, aiding your hunters grunts and other elite allies and fight against banished, the flood and sentinel forces as your chosen elite in third person.

Making and uploading content in a single language is quite sad for this time where the largest audience and followers of the saga are Spanish-speaking, there is no point in adding content to the history of the HALO universe if there will be limitations in disseminating the information, since many They will not be able to understand the content due to language barriers. 343 industries should take this as a suggestion.

I enjoy the positivity in the comments. But, holy cow was this a total waste of 25 minutes. All i heard was cutter misses serina, isabelle struggles to understand hope, and some marines ate icecream.

Because, as a stand alone piece....its pretty worthless. I appreciate the effort though in keeping the Halo story and community alive!
