Halo: Broken Circle audiobook – Halo, Book 13

In the quiet hours of the evening, as I lay comfortably in my bed with my headphones on, I delved into the captivating world of Halo: Broken Circle audiobook by John Shirley. As a long-time fan of the Halo series, I was excited to explore a different perspective and witness the story of the Covenant unfold.

Shirley takes us back in time to when the Covenant was still a formidable force, facing threats from both within and outside their alien world. The intricate details and complexities of their society were something that hadn’t been fully explored in previous installments, and I found myself engrossed in this new chapter.

One particular aspect that stood out to me was the introduction of a Prophet with his own agenda, posing a threat not only to the current leadership but also to the entire world. Shirley’s storytelling skills shine through as he weaves together a tale filled with intrigue, action, and unexpected twists.

As someone who has enjoyed Shirley’s previous works such as Bioshock: Rapture and Demons, it was interesting to see him tackle the realm of aliens and technological geniuses. His ability to provide deeper insights into the Covenant’s history and culture added depth to an already rich universe.

Scott Brick’s narration effortlessly brought Shirley’s words to life. His smooth delivery made it easy for me to immerse myself in this thrilling journey alongside the characters. The combination of Shirley’s storytelling prowess and Brick’s impeccable narration created an audiobook experience that left me wanting more.
