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]]''.

Unlike the prior works in the ''A Master Chief Story'' series, which take place in the early days of the war with the Covenant, ''Shadows of Reach'' takes place in October 2559, a year following the end of [[2015]]'s ''Halo 5: Guardians''. The book sees Blue Team deployed to the now-[[Glassing|glassed]] remnants of [[Reach]] to the ruins of [[CASTLE Base]] to recover secret information that may help lead to the defeat of [[Cortana]] and the [[Created]], fighting against the [[Banished]] and the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] in the process.
