The book relates the tales of:

* Major Antonio Silva, the commander who leads the human marines to form a base on Halo. It also chronicles the trials of his second in command, Lieutenant Melissa McKay.
* Private Wallace Jenkins's traumatic experience after being possessed by the Flood.
* Captain Keyes's experience after landing on Halo, being captured by the Covenant, and later being possessed by the Flood.
* An Elite named Zuka 'Zamamee and a Grunt named Yayap, as they seek to hunt the Master Chief. This story also reveals much about the Covenant's culture.

The book also makes light jokes at occurrences in the game, such as Cortana directing the Chief to an area, failing to tell him about the massed amount of Covenant troops located there.

The story is continued in the novel Halo: First Strike.
