In the first, desperate days of the human-covenant war, the unsc has enacted the cole protocol to safeguard earth and its inner colonies from discovery by a merciless alien foe. Many are called upon to rid the universe of lingering navigation data that would reveal the location of earth. Among them is navy lieutenant jacob keyes. Thrust back into action after being sidelined, keyes is saddled with a top secret mission by oni. One that will take him deep behind enemy lines, to a corner of the universe where nothing is as it seems. Out beyond the outer colonies lies the planet hesiod, a gas giant surrounded by a vast asteroid belt. As the covenant continues to glass the human-occupied planets near hesiod, many of the survivors, helped by a stronghold of human insurrectionists, are fleeing to the asteroid belt for refuge. They have transformed the tumbling satellites into a tenuous, yet ingenious, settlement known as the rubble?and have come face-to-face with a covenant settlement of kig-yar . . . Yet somehow survived. News of this unlikely treaty has spread to the warring sides. Luckily for the unsc, this uneasy alliance is in the path of the spartan gray team, a three-man renegade squad whose simple task is to wreak havoc from behind enemy lines in any way they see fit. But the prophets have also sent their best?an ambitious and ruthless elite, whose quest for nobility and rank is matched only by his brutality. . . And who will do anything to secure his ascendancy and walk the path.

<li>Imagine the moment when the present ends, and the future begins — when the world we knew is no more and a brave new world is thrust upon us. Gathering stories by nine of today's most incisive minds, Seeds of Change confronts the pivotal issues facing our society today: racism, global warming, peak oil, technological advancement, and political revolution. Many serve as a call to action. How will you change with the future? </li> <li>These nine stories sow seeds of change across familiar and foreign territory, from our own backyards to the Niger Delta to worlds not yet discovered. Pepper, the mysterious mercenary from Tobias S. Buckell's Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin, works as an agent for change — if the price is right — in "Resistance." Ken MacLeod envisions the end-game in the Middle East in "A Dance Called Armageddon." New writer Blake Charlton imagines a revolutionary advance in cancer research in "Endosymbiont." Award-winning author Jay Lake tackles technological change and the forces that will stop at nothing to prevent it in "The Future by Degrees." Other stories by K.D. Wentworth, Jeremiah Tolbert, Mark Budz, Ted Kosmatka, and Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu range from the darkly satirical to the exotic. All explore the notion that change will come. </li>

It has been six years since the end of the Covenant War . . . and yet on the planet Carrow, a world on the edge of the Joint Occupation Zone, a decisive new battle suddenly erupts. Human colonists and the alien Sangheili have already been living a tension-filled coexistence in this place, with Unified Earth Government envoy Melody Azikiwe attempting to broker a lasting peace between their two species. But as civil war now engulfs the Sangheili, Melody must act on an additional covert assignment courtesy of the Office of Naval Intelligence: free the Spartan-IIs known as Gray Team, held in stasis since the end of the war by a cunning Elite fleetmaster consumed with vengeance. And none can anticipate the ongoing violence leading to the discovery of an even greater, unstoppable threat one hidden for eons below the surface of the planet. . . .
