Master Chief (Halo)
"Halo: First Strike", the 2003 novel by Eric Nylund, follows the Master Chief after the events of "Halo: Combat Evolved" and bridges the events of "Halo" and "Halo 2". Floating in Halo's debris field, Cortana and the Chief discover that there are in fact other human survivors. The Master Chief and these soldiers capture the Covenant flagship "Ascendant Justice", and return to Reach to save any UNSC survivors on the planet. At Reach, the Master Chief discovers that the Covenant had not destroyed the planet's biosphere in the usual manner, and that a few other Spartans survive. The Chief retrieves Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, the creative genius behind the SPARTAN-II Project, and his fellow soldiers. The Spartans then attack a massive Covenant command station, the "Unyielding Hierophant", thus delaying a Covenant assault on Earth.
