{{Status|RealWorld}}
'''''A Master Chief Story''''', also known under '''''The Master Chief & Blue Team''''', is a subtitle given to a series of stories published by [[343 Industries]] focusing around the eponymous character of [[John-117]] - the Master Chief. The Master Chief Story series centers on John-117 as a primary character, often including the actions of fellow [[Blue Team]], consisting of [[Frederic-104]], [[Kelly-087]] and [[Linda-058]]. 

The current ''Master Chief Story'' series consists of three novels and a comic book series. The three books - ''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', ''[[Halo: Oblivion]]'' and ''[[Halo: Shadows of Reach]]'' - and the comic series - the three-part ''[[Halo: Collateral Damage]]'' - explore the actions of the Master Chief and Blue Team in and around the start of the [[Human-Covenant War]], exploring the relationship of the [[UNSC]] and the [[Insurrectionist]]s in the wake of the arrival of the [[Covenant]], as well as featuring Covenant perspectives on the early war, notably that of [[Fleetmaster]] [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]]. Comparatively, ''Shadows of Reach'' takes place three decades later, showcasing Blue Team's actions in [[2559]] as part of the [[Created conflict|conflict]] with the [[Created]] following the events of ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''.

Released in three issues between June–August [[2018]], ''Collateral Damage'' sees Blue Team deployed onto the planet [[Alpha Corvi II]] to stop the Covenant's [[Battle of Alpha Corvi II|invasion]] of the planet.

''Halo: Silent Storm'', written by [[Troy Denning]] and released in September 2018, sees the Master Chief and several other [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] join up with [[Task Force Yama]] and the [[21st Space Assault Battalion]] in their first major mission alongside regular UNSC forces. Eponymously named, [[Operation: SILENT STORM]] is a desperate plan put together by the UNSC to sabotage Covenant warships in an attempt to slow the Covenant advance into human space, and buy the UNSC time to find a countermeasure to help win the war.

''Silent Storm'' additionally features [[Avery Johnson]] alongside several new characters including [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]], the [[Minor Minister of Artifact Survey]] and [[Tel 'Szatulai]] - showcasing a Covenant perspective on the early war with humanity, and their reaction to the actions of the Spartans. The book additionally features several characters and connections with Denning's prior ''Halo'' novels ''[[Halo: Last Light]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Halo: Retribution]]''.
