Halo: Bad Blood

But even as they attempt to stay one step ahead, new trouble seems to find Spartan Edward Buck no matter where he turns.

A secret mission planned by the Office of Naval Intelligence could possibly help turn the tide, and has Buck reluctantly agreeing to reform his old team, Alpha-Nine. But if the band is really getting back together for this one, that means everybody-including the Spartan who Buck never wants to see again, the one who committed the ultimate betrayal of trust...
