About This Audiobook

When the UNSC flagship Infinity is ambushed and forced to crash on the fractured surface of Zeta Halo, the survivors — Spartans, soldiers, and civilians who never expected to see the front lines — must hold together against a Banished force that holds every advantage while their leadership is cut off and their numbers dwindle. Kelly Gay's Halo Infinite companion novel follows the desperate days before the Master Chief's return, tracking the human cost of survival on a broken ring world. It is a war story told in weeks and small victories.

Scott Brick's narration handles the novel's survival thriller register with the urgency the material demands, his voice carrying the weight of each loss and the determination that keeps the survivors moving. At just over ten and a half hours, The Rubicon Protocol is the most direct bridge between the Halo 5 storylines and Halo Infinite, rewarding both longtime fans and those entering the series through the newer game. A propulsive, emotionally grounded listen.
