About this product

Product Information

Halo: Cryptum by Greg Bear is a tale of life, death, intergalactic horror, exile, and maturity. It is a story of overwhelming change--and of human origins. For the Mantle may not lie upon the shoulders of Forerunners forever. 100,000 years ago, the galaxy was populated by a great variety of beings. But one species--eons beyond all others in both technology and knowledge--achieved dominance. They ruled in peace but met opposition with quick and brutal effectiveness. They were the Forerunners--the keepers of the Mantle, the next stage of life in the Universe's Living Time. And then they vanished. This is their story. Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting is a young rebellious Forerunner. He is a Manipular, untried--yet to become part of the adult Forerunner society, where vast knowledge and duty waits. He comes from a family of Builders, the Forerunners' highest and most politically powerful rate. It is the Builders who create the grand technology that facilitates Forerunner dominance over the known universe. It is the Builders who believe they must shoulder the greatest burden of the Mantle--as shepherds and guardians of all life. Bornstellar is marked to become a great Builder just like his father. But this Manipular has other plans. He is obsessed with lost treasures of the past. His reckless passion to seek out the marvelous artifacts left behind by the Precursors--long-vanished superbeings of unknowable power and intent---forces his father's hand. Bornstellar is sent to live among the Miners, where he must come to terms with where his duty truly lies. But powerful forces are at play. Forerunner society is at a major crux. Past threats are once again proving relentless. Dire solutions--machines and strategies never before contemplated--are being called up, and fissures in Forerunner power are leading to chaos. On a Lifeworker's experimental planet, Bornstellar's rebellious course crosses the paths of two humans, and the long lifeline of a great military leader, forever changing Bornstellar's destiny ...and the fate of the entire galaxy.

  • An amazing conglomeration of Forerunner politics, history and adventure.

    Don't expect the amazing battle scenes from previous Halo Universe books. This amazing written by Hugo and Nebula Award winning author Greg Bear, Halo: Cryptum is the first book in his trilogy, "The Forerunner Saga." Weighing in at 342 pages, I can honestly say that Bear has crafted the least Halo feeling novel of all, and I certainly don't mean that in a negative way as his story is unlike anything that has come from the Halo universe before.

  • Decent book, but doesn't really feel like traditional Halo storytelling.

    This book is a bit of a step up from the normal Halo lore I'm used to reading, but it's still good. Normally a step up is a good thing, but I find this book hard to follow sometimes and it doesn't feel like I'm reading a Halo story, but it's still good nonetheless.

  • Good

    Fast and good

  • This is book is easily worth any price!

    Got the book in great time and was already on page ten after I went to the mailbox. The book was I'm great shape and was great! I finally have an edge over my halo friends and I have a beyer understanding of the halo universe! It reveals so much that the games and other books couldn't! If you have read the other books this one is a must have for your collection. Can't wait for more!!!!

  • Great book for adding depth to a good series

    I'm not interested in talking about the story but, I enjoyed the book, it shed much needed light on the Halo series.
