Alors que la redoutable flotte des Covenants sillonne inexorablement l'espace, dans l'intention d'éradiquer l'humanité, la planète Reach est le dernier bastion humain qui ne soit pas encore tombé. Située aux portes de la Terre, Reach est la seule forteresse militaire à pouvoir espérer repousser l'attaque extraterrestre. Mais les défenseurs de la planète ont une autre priorité : empêcher les Covenants de découvrir la localisation de la Terre. Avec une puissance de feu et des forces inférieures, les soldats humains semblent avoir peu de chances de résister aux Covenants ; Reach abrite cependant un secret très bien gardé. Cette planète est le centre d'entraînement des tout premiers " super-soldats ". Ayant pour nom de code Spartans, ces combattants émérites, dotés d'une technologie avancée, n'ont pas d'égal dans l'univers : ils sont silencieux, professionnels et dangereux. Lorsque commence l'attaque des perfides Covenants, une poignée de Spartans s'apprête à leur livrer une guerre totale. Ils tueront, ou seront anéantis, mais ne se rendront jamais. Et l'un d'entre eux, le Spartan connu sous le nom d'Adjudant, survivra même pour livrer une autre bataille sur un ancien et mystérieux monde artificiel baptisé Halo...
