Wow. This was easily my favorite of the original Halo saga (I skipped The Flood). Being away from the story of Master Chief more brought more intensity because there was more room for character growth and more ability to actually fear for characters' outcomes. The last third of the book was absolutely gripping. And the intrigue of Onyx and the Spartan III's added to what the other two books lacked: the unknown (for me, digging deeper into Halo lore for the first time).
