About this listen

An original novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

2559. It has been a year since the rogue artificial intelligence Cortana seized control of the Domain, an otherworldly dimension housing a vast information network. With an array of Forerunner weapons at her disposal, Cortana set out to enforce an authoritarian peace on the civilizations of the galaxy. But as the United Nations Space Command flagship Infinity prepares to strike against Cortana at Zeta Halo, another plan has also been set in motion.

An ancient access point hidden on a seemingly insignificant human colony has become the focus of a parallel effort to claim the Domain and its immeasurable capabilities. The UNSC, however, needs a key: a living, forsaken product of an old war. As a new generation of heroes rise to meet this challenge, and Cortana's pursuit of control reaches a desperate and sudden crescendo, a cunning, ruthless warrior emerges from the shadows of the Banished, who has vowed to fill the new power vacuum by any means necessary…

What listeners say about Halo: Empty Throne

Highly rated for:

The Audiobook's Story Is Praised For Its Compelling Narrative, Engaging Plot Twists, And Emotional Character Arcs, Particularly The Storylines Involving Familiar Characters Like Lord Hood, Rtas 'vadum, And Gray Team. However, Some Criticize The Lengthy Second Act, The Narrator's Limited Vocal Range, And The Open-ended Storylines That Leave Certain Plot Threads Unresolved. The Story Revolves Around Military Operations, Interspecies Alliances, Naval Combat, Themes Of Revenge And Self-realization, And The Drive To Access The Domain Previously Controlled By Cortana. Overall, It Is Seen As A Return To The Stakes And Tone Of The Earlier Halo Games And Novels, With Satisfying Closure For Some Storylines While Setting Up Potential Future Narratives.

good listen, definitely worth the time.

I must say.... this should have been in the game. but I know 343 is physically incapable of doing so. but at least we got these books. Definitely worth a listen.

Another great story

The halo books recently have all been great and this is no exception. Scott Brick still reads in the same mono tone and I wish they would find some else to read. Overall another great addition to the Halo universe.

Hope

This is the best book the series has had since the first decade, not saying the other recent ones are bad. Just left me hopeful that the series can recover. I'd say top five, up there with fall of reach, cole protocol and contact harvest.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

the best part of this story is about Cloe and Solomon. I think the whole story could be just about them.

I demand more

Love or hate 343, the writers always kill it. It leaves you craving the next one. Unfortunately it’ll be a year or two.
