{{Article | {{Article quote|Halo: The Thursday War picks up immediately where [[Halo: Glasslands]] left off, with forces on [[Earth]] and among the [[Covenant remnants|Covenant]] threatening a peace that is precarious at best. With a [[Servants of Abiding Truth|splinter group]] among the [[Sangheili]] pushing for war, some human colonies rebel against Earth authority; and as [[ONI]] policy continues to shift with the volatile situation in space, the discovery of a [[Trevelyan|trove]] of [[Forerunner]] technology on [[Onyx]] provokes leaders on Earth to seek uses for it in the conflict. For the fight is far from over… | ||
Welcome to humanity’s new war: silent, high stakes, and unseen. This is a life-or-death mission for ONI’s black-ops team, Kilo-Five, which is tasked with preventing the ruthless Elites, once the military leaders of the Covenant, from regrouping and threatening humankind again. What began as a routine dirty-tricks operation―keeping the Elites busy with their own insurrection―turns into a desperate bid to extract one member of Kilo-Five from the seething heart of an alien civil war. But troubles never come singly for Kilo-Five. Colonial terrorism is once again surfacing on one of the worlds that survived the war against the Covenant, and the man behind it is much more than just a name to Spartan-010. Meanwhile, the treasure trove of Forerunner technology recovered from the shield world of Onyx is being put to work while a kidnapped Elite plots vengeance on the humans he fears will bring his people to the brink of destruction.}} | Welcome to humanity’s new war: silent, high stakes, and unseen.
