Halo: Ghosts of Onyx

***Halo: Ghosts of Onyx***is the fourth and last *Halo* book in the main series, and the sequel to *Halo: The Fall of Reach*, *Halo: The Flood* and *Halo: First Strike*, respectively. It was written by Eric Nylund and published by Tor Books. The book is a midquel to the events of *Halo 2*.

The book was released on October 31, 2006, three years after the release of *Halo: First Strike*. It is follows the actions of Blue Team from the early moments of the Covenant invasion of Earth to the discovery and battle on the Forerunner shield world of Onyx. As it follows Blue Team, it becomes the first *Halo* book to not feature John-117. The book was also the first published by Tor Books since their contract with Eric Nylund, which ultimately meant no reissue of the book was ever made nor is likely planned.

An unofficial sequel to *Halo: Ghosts of Onyx*, called *Halo: Glasslands*, was released on October 25, 2011, which was also the first book in the Kilo-Five Trilogy.

## Story Synopsis

### Prologue: Beta Company's Victory at Pegasi Delta

The prologue begins with the 300 Spartan-IIIs of Beta Company being deployed to the Covenant-controlled planet, Pegasi Delta in 2545. Out of the 300, 291 hit the ground and proceed towards their target, a Covenant refinery. The Spartans manage to destroy the facility, but due to unexpected heavy Covenant resistance in the form of seven large Covenant cruisers, misidentified as part of the factory by the orbiting STARS Satellite, only two; Tom-B292 and Lucy-B091, survive. Tom and Lucy are revealed to be only twelve years old, and Lucy is severely traumatized and rendered mute, being diagnosed with post-traumatic vocal disarticulation after the deaths of the other Spartans and several of her companions from Team Foxtrot, Adam-B004 and Min-B174.

### Section I: Ambrose

The narrative moves back to 2531 to a raid by SPARTAN-II Blue Team against Insurrectionists on planet Victoria to recover stolen FENRIS nuclear warheads. Though the team is captured by General Howard Graves and the rebels, the timely intervention of Kurt-051 allows the team to complete their mission without any other serious problems, but Graves is killed during the course of events, preventing the team from learning valuable secrets the General held about the rebels' command and intelligence structure.

Five months later, Colonel James Ackerson of Section Three of the Office of Naval Intelligence, meets with three ONI officers: Rear Admiral Rich, Captain Gibson and the head of ONI herself, Vice Admiral Parangosky. During the meeting, Ackerson moves forward a proposal for a new SPARTAN program which retains most of the effecticeness of the SPARTAN-II program without the high costs of the previous project. This becomes the SPARTAN-III Program, a more streamlined, "disposable", as well as more numerous, group of Spartans that must be trained for high-risk operations. Ackerson is given the classified, UNSC-controlled world Onyx with the purpose of training the SPARTAN-IIIs, and is promised a SPARTAN-II to train them.

The next month, Kurt-051, Kelly-087 and Fred-104 are sent to investigate "suspicious activity" at Station Delphi.  When Kurt-051 approaches a ruptured Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine for closer inspection, his thruster pack malfunctions and sends him spinning away into deep space. Kurt-051 awakens a month later and meets Ackerson, who informs him that the events at Station Delphi were staged in order to recruit him. Kurt-051 is told of the SPARTAN-III program and is given orders to train the volunteers of the program. Ackerson promotes him to Lieutenant, Junior Grade and assigns him the surname of Ambrose to hide his previous service as a Spartan.

### Section II: SPARTAN-III

At Camp Currahee on Onyx, Kurt-051 reduces the four hundred and ninety-seven volunteers for the SPARTAN-III program to three hundred trainees by ordering a nighttime high-altitude aerial drop from Pelicans, in order to assess who among the volunteers truly wants to be a Spartan. One of the volunteers, Shane-A112, is frightened by the prospect of a drop and is taunted by another recruit, Robert-A057. Upon reaching the ground, Shane attacks Robert for teasing him and the two are separated by naval personnel. They comment on the aggressiveness of the two, hoping "the rest of them are like this."

Several years later, Kurt-051 returns to the UNSC *Point of No Return* to be briefed on Alpha Company's performance and to proceed with training for Beta Company, where he learns of the complete destruction of Alpha Company during Operation: PROMETHEUS. Devastated by the images of the battle and the loss of his soldiers, Kurt-051 improves the training regime for Beta Company, and presses for upgrades to the SPI armor systems. Regardless, most are killed in action during Operation: TORPEDO, with the exceptions of Tom-B292 and Lucy-B091, who, through Kurt-051's efforts, are assigned to Onyx to assist Kurt-051 in training Gamma Company, despite Ackerson's protests. In a further effort to reduce casualities, Kurt-051 then institutes an illegal procedure during Gamma Company's augmentations, designed to alter the Spartan's brain chemistry and make them resistant to pain and shock. The AI Deep Winter notices this, but unaware of the perpertrator, tells Kurt-051, who takes it upon himself to ensure that the files regarding the augmentations are purged.

### Section III: Intruders

On October 31, 2552, the top three teams of the SPARTAN-III Gamma Company - Teams Saber, Katana and Gladius - conduct a training exercise near a restricted area on Onyx deemed Zone 67, only to find themselves and other UNSC personnel under attack by an unidentified class of alien drones. Very quickly, the few humans on the planet are either wiped out or struggling to survive against this new, unexpected threat.

### Section IV: Dr. Catherine Halsey

Doctor Catherine Halsey and Kelly-087 arrive in the Zeta Doradus System aboard the stolen rebel ship, the *Beatrice*. As they get closer to Onyx they are attacked by the drones and crash-land. Once on the planet, they meet up with the human survivors of the attacks, including Spartan-III team Saber, Kurt-051 and Chief Mendez. Halsey identifies the drones as Sentinels based on Cortana's logs of the events during the Battle of Installation 04. Halsey proceeds to call for reinforcements, piggybacking her transmission on another transmission made by Cortana after the events of *Halo 2*. On the message she calls out for caution about the danger coming from the Forerunner Dreadnought that includes John-117, as well as the grave threat of the Flood, which was trying to escape from Delta Halo at the time.

### Section V: Blue Team

On Earth, two weeks after the New Mombasa Slipspace event, the planet remains under siege by Covenant forces. Fred-104, Will-043 and Linda-058 are pulled out of the line of fire by Fleet Admiral Hood, who responds to Halsey's call for reinforcements by dispatching the Spartans to Onyx. After hijacking a Covenant destroyer called *Bloodied Spirit* and killing all Covenant on board by suffocation, the Spartans head for Onyx, only to be caught in the middle of a battle between Elite and Brute ships on the way. The Spartans barely escape and arrive at Onyx only to be attacked by the Sentinels. They escape using a Covenant dropship and link up with survivors, and then make their way toward Zone 67 after shaking off Sentinel pursuit.

### Section VI: The Ghosts of Onyx

Within this section, the story takes place on Delta Halo, where the Covenant are in the midst of a civil war. The separatists intercept Halsey's message, learn of the existence of Onyx and its Forerunner artifacts then regroup at a Covenant world called Joyous Exultation. There, the Sangheili Imperial Admiral Xytan 'Jar Wattinree rallies the Elites together and discuss the apparent treachery of the Brutes and the Prophets, and how to go about handling the situation. ShipmasterVoro Nar 'Mantakree speaks to his fellow shipmasters and suggests that they go to Onyx, as well as to be vigilant of the Flood threat. He is promoted to the rank of Fleet Master and is given command of a fleet of eighteen destroyers, two cruisers and a carrier. They then prepare to go to Onyx to retrieve the Forerunner technology.

Meanwhile, on the Covenant supercarrier called *Sublime Transcendence*, a Grunt named Kwassas stumbles upon the engineers who are busy examining what is revealed to be Admiral Whitcomb's NOVA bomb. The engineers unknowingly arm it after Kwassass messses with the arming device. Shortly after 'Mantakree's fleet departs for Onyx, the NOVA bomb detonates, devastating the surface of Joyous Exultation, shattering its nearby moon, Malheim, into billions of fragments, and vaporizing the entire separatist armada.

### Section VII: Reclaimers

The Covenant fleet and a UNSC battle group arrive at Onyx, where they encounter one another and the Sentinel defenders, which attack anything approaching the system. In the ensuing battle, the entire UNSC battlegroup is destroyed except the prowler UNSC *Dusk*,  which stays hidden and observes events unfolding. The humans on Onyx head for Zone 67, where they discover an ancient Forerunner city. Pursued by the Covenant, the humans head underground, where Dr. Halsey examines that the entire planet is actually an artificial construct concealed a Forerunner Shield World, which was constructed by the Forerunners to protect themselves from the firing of the Halo Array, which are designed to eradicate all sentient life should the Flood escape.

Fighting off determined Covenant pursuers, they press on into the heart of the planet to find its secrets, but not before the ONI AI Endless Summer communicates to Dr. Halsey the importance of shutting down a Forerunner Sentinel manufacturing facility which is producing new Sentinels at a rapid rate. After disabling the factory, the group proceeds to the location of Team Katana. They find eight slipspace field pods, five of which contain members of Katana, with the rest housing unidentified individuals. They press on into Onyx's core, where they discover a slipspace rift supposedly leading into the Shield World itself. Will-043 and Holly-G003 fall fighting off the Covenant forces, Will-043 engaging several Hunters in hand-to-hand combat before meeting his demise. Halsey, Mendez, Tom, Lucy and the other Spartans escape, while Kurt-051 remains behind in order to stop the Covenant from following the humans into the slipspace rift. He waits for the portal to fully close and then he lists Kurt Ambrose as MIA under SPARTAN-051 along with the other Spartans, adhering to the tradition of never listing a Spartan as KIA. He ends his life responding to Voro 'Mantakree, "*Die? Didn't you know? Spartans never die*,*"* and then detonates the two FENRIS nuclear warheads that the team had taken with them, killing himself and wiping out 'Mantakree and his Covenant forces.

From outside Onyx, the surviving UNSC prowler *Dusk* watches on as the planet's surface rips apart, revealing that the entire world is constructed of literally trillions of Sentinels, all connected together to provide an impenetrable defense around the Shield World at the heart of the planet. The story is concluded on the other side of the slipspace rift, which is revealed to house an immense Dyson sphere, which features terrain similar to that of Earth and is separated from normal space-time inside a compressed slipspace bubble. The survivors hold a memorial service to the fallen, and Fred-104 takes command of the remaining survivors, ordering them to move out and complete their mission of finding Forerunner artifacts and searching for a method of escape. Kelly-087 then welcomes the Spartan-IIIs to Blue Team, stating that they are "going to make a great team."

## *​*Reception

Critical reception to *Ghosts of Onyx* was mostly positive. IGN stated that it did some "pretty nifty things" and that it was "an interesting and very sneaky way to conclude a story without spoiling*Halo 3'*s story". Arbiter's Judgment stated that it was "a grand continuation of Nylund's previous work, and if you enjoyed it then you will enjoy Ghosts of Onyx, plain and simple".

However, Subnova had reviews that were less then positive, stating that "it introduces a new character...well, 300 new characters, while incorporating no old ones, and it dizzies the reader with new facts and information". It also noted how the Master Chief and Cortana were "ignored", and only appeared in one section, rather than in the past books.

## Sequel

*Main Article: Halo: Glasslands*
For several years, *Ghosts of Onyx* was one of the most popular *Halo* novels to have a sequel made. Frank O'Connor had hinted at the possibility of a follow-up to *Ghosts of Onyx*, authored by Eric Nylund. The sequel was already in talks by early 2010. The follow-up to the novel was announced on July 20, 2010, and despite the earlier talks with Nylund, it was confirmed to be written by Karen Traviss, award-winning novelist and author of the *Human Weakness* short story in *Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe*. The novel, titled *Halo: Glasslands*, is a direct follow-up to the story of *Ghosts of Onyx*, and is the first of a new series to explore the *Halo* universe after the events of *Halo 3*. It was released on October 25, 2011 on hardcover, paperback and audiobook.

## Trivia

* The name *Ghosts of Onyx*is reminiscent of the track *Ghosts of Reach* from the *Halo 2 Original Soundtrack*.
* Before the confirmation of the book itself, the book's placeholder and showcase online name was *Ghosts of Coral.* This raised much speculation about ilovebees' significance to the *Halo*series, as Coral is a planet featured in the alternate reality game.
* During the stage that it was still called *Ghosts of Coral*, two chapters were cut from the novel for 'pacing reasons', though Nylund has expressed a desire to release these lost chapters.
* There are two back-cover variants; one with a Spartan in SPI armor and another with a SPARTAN-II in Mark VI armor.
* On his blog, Eric Nylund has confirmed that there will be a reissue some time in the future, fixing many errors in the book. The time of release for the reissue is unknown.
* Camp Currahee is most likely a reference to the real-world Camp Toccoa, a training area for the 101st Airborne Division during World War II, which was located near Currahee Mountain in Georgia. It was popularized by the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers. Kurt-051's pseudonym, "Ambrose", is likely a reference to Steven E. Ambrose, the author of the book which the miniseries is based.
* This book, along with *Halo: Contact Harvest*and *Halo: The Cole Protocol*, were collected in the *Halo* Boxed Set.
* The cover art of the novel depicts what has since been established as the Eld, the Forerunner glyph for the Mantle, under the title of *Ghosts of Onyx*.
