Halo: Collateral Damage
<b>The Master Chief and Blue Team are deployed by the UNSC to Alpha Corvi II, a precarious human colony world, seeking to halt the Covenant's efforts to uncover something hidden below the planet's surface.</b><br><br>Before they were legends in the <i>Halo</i> universe, they were soldiers on the front lines. Alpha Corvi II is under a full-scale attack by humanity's newfound enemy, the Covenant. While most of the UNSC's forces have been ordered to defend the colony's primary city, a Covenant strike team has infiltrated a small mining settlement. With resources limited, the UNSC sends the Spartans--the Master Chief and Blue Team--to neutralize the alien threat and discover what they're after. The Spartan strike team quickly finds out that they will have to rely on each other and a small cadre of human rebels in order to survive and complete their mission.<br> <br>Writer Alex Irvine (<i>Halo: Rise of Atriox, Halo: Tales From Slipspace</i>) and artist Dave Crosland (<i>Halo: Tales From Slipspace</i>) lead us on a thrilling mission from the early days of the three-decade long Covenant War.
