{{Article Quote|While [[SPARTAN programs|Spartans]] get all the glory, no soldier―not even the legendary [[John-117|Master Chief]]―wins a war on his or her own. [[Edward Buck|Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck]] and [[Alpha-Nine|his team]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] played a major role in saving the [[Earth]] from all-out [[Battle of Earth|invasion]] at the end of the [[Human-Covenant War|Covenant War]]―acts of bravery and ingenuity that did not go unnoticed by the [[United Nations Space Command]].

Now, after many Spartans have been killed in battle and the Master Chief is listed as [[MIA]], the UNSC decides to create [[SPARTAN-IV program|a new generation of Spartans]] to defend [[human]]ity from threats both outside―and within. When they come to Buck with an extraordinary proposition, he is forced to make a life-altering decision. With the Covenant War finally over, is it time for him to finally retire to the sidelines for a life he could only dream about... or is he prepared to step up and become part of the military’s new blood?<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''Back cover description''</ref>}}
