Book Reviews of Ghosts of Onyx (Halo)
Book Review: "Here's goes everything."
Summary: 2 Stars
Wow, I love Halo and all, but this book is boring and full of typos. What the hell? Mr. Nylund should slap his editor. There's a grammatical error in almost every chapter.Book Review: 5/5 - A Great Addition to the Halo Universe
Summary: 5 Stars
Ghosts of Onyx is a superb addition to the books of the Halo series. While the Halo Trilogy (The Fall of Reach, The Flood, and First Strike) all focus on the John-117 (The Master Chief), Ghosts of the Onyx focuses on the heroic acts of another Spartan named Kurt.
The action in the book is great. This book adds onto the Covenant Civil War, as well as reveals some of the cracks in the Covenant foundation and its attitudes toward the Flood/Halos. The book also reveals some details behind the SPARTAN-III Program and the doings of some of ONIs top officials.
If you liked the original Halo Triology books, you'll love these.

Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, another Halo novel, the fourth one, I believe. Here, we have combat with the Covenant, which is intense at times and very well depicted by veteran writer Eric Nylund who has written other great Halo novels as well. Most of the action here centers on and around the planet Onyx, which also contains Forerunner ruins which quite possibly contains useable advanced weaponry which the Spartans would like to find, to help defeat the Covenant. Well, things turn out to be much more complicated than at first glance, and there is also much intrigue mixed in, including a one Dr. Halsey, who may have an agenda of her own.
I must add that these Halo novels are very well written, and I am someone who reads a lot of science fiction. Nylund includes a lot of detail in an easy to read, flowing style. Character development is superb, as is the plot. These novels, along with the associated XBOX video games, are very near to becoming an integral part of our culture, like Star Trek and Star Wars already are.
