Adam Ussingkær's Reviews > Halo: The Cole Protocol

A nice paced book. The story is straightforward and prior knowledge to the Halo universe is not much needed.
The pacing of the book was alright although time skips of days in an else multichapter setting that spanned a couple of minutes can catch you off guard.
The Cole Protocol challenged the views of both the Covenant and as well as the Humans.
The almost deserting behavior of both was interesting as some of the actions performed were not regulated by either millitary power. It created a dynamic where, the Unggoy for example were free to breed although the covenant has breeding laws. They circumvent this in secrecy to make a army that can wreak havoc on the humans. A red book operation that few in the covenant knows about.
The operation shows flaws and strengths and challenges the covenant totalistic rule about how a army should be commanded.

The book was good and pacing with short chapters made it for a fast read through. I would recommend this book for people with basic knowledge of the universe.
