Synopsis "Halo: The Thursday War: Book two of the Kilo-Five Trilogy "

The second novel of the Kilo-Five Trilogy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Traviss--part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series Halo! 2553. Welcome to humanity's new war: silent, high stakes, and unseen. This is a life-or-death mission for the Office of Naval Intelligence's black-ops team, Kilo-Five, which is tasked with preventing the ruthless Sangheili, once the military leaders of the alien alliance known as the Covenant, from regrouping and threatening humankind again. What began as a routine dirty-tricks operation--keeping the Sangheili occupied with their own insurrection--turns into a desperate bid to extract one member of Kilo-Five from the seething heart of a brutal civil war. But troubles never come singly for Kilo-Five. Colonial terrorism is once again surfacing on one of the human worlds that survived the war against the Covenant, and the man behind it is much more than just a name to Spartan Naomi-010. Meanwhile, the treasure trove of Forerunner technology recovered from the Forerunner shield world of Onyx is being put to work, even as a kidnapped Sangheili plots vengeance on the humans he fears will bring his people to the brink of destruction...

Karen Traviss es una escritora británica especializada en ciencia ficción militar, conocida por su enfoque directo, técnico y poco sentimental de los conflictos armados y sus consecuencias éticas. Antes de dedicarse por completo a la ficción, trabajó como periodista y corresponsal de defensa, experiencia que se nota en la precisión con la que describe jerarquías, tácticas y dinámicas militares. Su prosa suele poner el foco en el punto de vista del soldado, cuestionando el heroísmo simplista y explorando la lealtad, la responsabilidad y el costo humano de la guerra.

Alcanzó gran popularidad por sus novelas ambientadas en universos de franquicia, entre ellas la serie Gears of War, donde aportó una mirada más cruda y psicológica al mundo del videojuego. También es autora de influyentes novelas de Star Wars y Halo. En 2007 recibió el Compton Crook Award por City of Pearl, reconocimiento que consolidó su prestigio dentro del género.
