Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn , including Spartan John-117—the Master Chief—and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew’s only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground. But they soon discover that this enigmatic ringworld is much more than it seems. Built one hundred thousand years ago by a long-lost civilization known as the Forerunners, this “Halo” is worshipped by the Covenant—a sacred artifact they hope will complete their religious quest for supposed transcendence, and they will stop at nothing to control it. Engaging in fierce combat, Master Chief and Cortana will go deep into the Halo construct and uncover its dark secret and true purpose—even as a monstrous and far more vicious enemy than the Covenant emerges to threaten all sentient life on Halo and the galaxy beyond… Review: Bill Dietz delivers a strong self-contained story. - For travel interrupted reading, a mindless pulp-ScFi is my preferred choice. You can break the read and move in deep transit at a moment's notice. You can read it in uncomfortable position for hours. This stuff, for me, is a travel misery placebo. Bill Dietz is perhaps the best sci-fi military genre writer on the planet. Besides a mind altering purveyor of high action future war, Dietz reveals the style of the craft refined, professional author. His novel writing skill is a pure application of talent to paper. Not a page, not a paragraph, not sentence is rendered without aggressive forward moving action. I've never seen Halo played. I've read no other books that readers may be enjoying in saga. Dietz as the author was all that attracted me to the book. I had no idea what to expect. If Dietz hadn't written this installment I'd have no desire to read an imagined narrative around a first-person shooter video game. But, to my pleasant surprise, Dietz possess the Master Chief in this story. I assume the Master Chief is the player controlled `shooter' in the video game. Perhaps it is the video game link that Dietz uses to reveal the merciless, real world, show stopping, reality of `running out of stuff' that makes this combat sci-fi compellingly `realistic'. Great story. Great writing. Great Author. "The Flood" is a fully self-contained story. Review: Loved it - I was a bit wary because the first book set a high standard and with it being a different author I was concerned it wouldn’t live up to it. That uncertainty turned out to be completely unnecessary as Dietz did a fantastic job. 10/10. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #22,142 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #70 in TV, Movie & Game Tie-In Fiction #140 in Space Marine Science Fiction #184 in First Contact Science Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,731 Reviews | ## Images ![Halo: The Flood - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NJhL2V0CL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bill Dietz delivers a strong self-contained story. *by S***E on April 22, 2012* For travel interrupted reading, a mindless pulp-ScFi is my preferred choice.

That uncertainty turned out to be completely unnecessary as Dietz did a fantastic job. 10/10. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good story that I found entertaining and action filled! *by J***O on February 28, 2017* I love Sci-Fi and the Halo series of books are some of my favorites. I purchased the Kindle version, the paperback version and the Audible version of this book. I have read or listened to it multiple times. For me it never gets old. I like this book a lot but there are several things that bother me. The audio book and the Kindle version do not agree word for word. It is like the Audible version has been corrected and updated while the Kindle version has not. Words, sentences and paragraphs have been added in the Audible version while the Kindle version is incorrect. The other item that bothered me is the weapons used in the book by the humans and the effect they had on what was shot. The Master Chief use a shotgun a lot and the Kindle book said it was an 8 gauge shotgun and it was a 12 gauge. Parts of the Audible version were corrected while the Kindle book is still incorrect regarding the gage of the shotgun. In addition the book always talked about the assault rifle blowing large holes through the aliens that were shot. High velocity assault weapons and 7.62 bullets don't do that. They pass though the body. I also wondered how many magazines the master chief could carry. He must of used many thousands of rounds of ammo. Don't get me wrong but I still like the story. It is just that being a shooter I could not relate to incorrect information regarding the weapons. I like the book and I rated it 4 stars. It would have been 5 stars if the storyline moved faster and the above mentioned items were correct. I don't play the game but the story line, of the book, was entertaining for me and I liked it. Like I said, I have read and listened to the book multiple times. ## Frequently Bought Together - Halo: The Flood: Volume 2 - Halo: First Strike: Volume 3 - Halo: The Fall Of Reach --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/130661106-halo-the-flood](https://www.desertcart.no/products/130661106-halo-the-flood) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-10-23*
