{{Article quote|[[2526]]. It has been almost a year since humanity engaged in its destructive [[First Battle of Harvest|first contact]] with a theocratic military alliance of alien races known as the [[Covenant]]. Now the hostilities have led to open war, and the [[United Nations Space Command]] understands virtually nothing about its new enemy. There are only two certainties—the Covenant is determined to eradicate humanity, and they have the superior technology to do just that. The UNSC's only hope lies with the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]]: enhanced super-soldiers trained from childhood via a clandestine black-ops project to be living weapons. Their designated commander, Petty Officer [[John-117]], has been assigned to lead the Spartans on a desperate counterattack designed to rock the Covenant back on its heels, and to buy humanity the time it needs to gather intelligence and prepare its defenses.

*There is a mistake in Chapter 21 where the [[Age of Reclamation]] had "First Annual, Second Month". This was Troy Dennings interpretation on how the calendar worked, but he was asked to remove them all, and that case was missed.<ref>[https://twitter.com/TDenningauthor/status/1040665207377412097 ''Twitter'', TDenningauthor - "Yikes! I missed that! Iwas supposed to take the "annual, month" references out, so don't put too much weight on them. It was just my interpretation of how the calendar worked. Since I was asked to remove them, I'm assuming it wasn't correct."]</ref>
