Story
Saskia, Dorian, Evie, and Victor aren't exactly friends at their small high school on the middle-of-nowhere colony world of Meridian. Each has their own problems, from absent parents to supporting their family, getting into a good college to making the next hit holo-film. But those problems were nothing next to the threat now facing their world: The alien alliance known as the Covenant is laying siege to Meridian. With their village in flames, the four teens find themselves stuck aboveground, locked out of the town shelter where the rest of the survivors are gathered.

Story
When the Imperial prison barge Purge - temporary home to 500 of the galaxy’s most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels, and thieves - breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict, and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back - bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine. And death is only the beginning.

The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business had many watching their backs. America's sense of freedom was diminishing... and many were desperate to take that freedom back.

The year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct and the half-destroyed cities have become uninhabitable through radiation. Beyond their boundaries, they say, lie endless burned-out deserts and the remains of splintered forests. Survivors still remember the past greatness of humankind, but the last remains of civilisation have already become a distant memory. Man has handed over stewardship of the earth to new life-forms. A few score thousand survivors live on, not knowing whether they are the only ones left on Earth....

Starting a war with an enemy 100 times stronger is insane. It’s desperate. And it’s Earth’s only hope. A massive alien power looms over humanity, claiming Earth as its territory and humanity as its slaves. The Hegemony has already taken over one colony, yoking hundreds of thousands under their brutal rule. Every tactical exercise, every war game, and every simulation gives humanity zero chance in a defensive campaign.

why whisper?
Why is 3/4 of the book barely above a whisper, except for the dialogue which is practically a shout in comparison?!
It made the book highly frustrating to listen to and ruined what probably was a good story.
I wish I hadn't bought this

HaLo Battle Born: Meridian Divide
Excellent book; as a sequel it continued an adventure of four high school students thrust into harms way and catipuled into the struggle to save humanity. Action packed but written for young adults it’s perfect to capture the imagination and spark interest in science, aviation, astrophysics, and more. I hope Cassandra Rose Clark publishes another book the series soon!

To dull and slow for my taste
Sure, everyone is not a super soldier. But teenagers with parental troubles in the Halo world is not for me.
The narrator reads with a low and whispering voice, as if the book was som well kept secret. As if the characters was on some super secret mission. But the are in the middle of a battle, beeing bombarded with Covenant plasma fire. I don't get that feeling.
I must say I didn't finish the book, I went on to more exciting titles.

A good book overall and a really good story! The narrator lets it down by whispering during times in the book where it isn’t needed for the story. Other than that a good listen
