The [[Flood]] — a horrifying shape-changing parasite — has arrived in force, aided by [[Mendicant Bias|unexpected allies]]. Internal strife within the [[ecumene]] has desperately weakened Forerunner defenses. Too little, too late, the legal [[rate]] of [[Juridical]]s is only now investigating possible crimes by the [[Faber|Master Builder]] and others. Evidence-gathering agents known collectively as [[Catalog]] have been dispatched to collect testimony from the [[Librarian]] and both Didacts: the [[Ur-Didact]], treacherously abandoned in a Flood-infested system, and the [[IsoDidact|Bornstellar Didact]], who accompanies the Librarian as she [[Conservation Measure|preserves specimens]] against the dire possibility of [[Halo Array|Halo]] extermination. | ||
Facing the imminent collapse of their civilization, the Librarian and the Ur-Didact reveal what they know about the relationship between the long-vanished [[Precursor]]s and the Flood. The Precursors created many technological species, including humanity and the Forerunners. But the roots of the Flood may be found in an [[Forerunner-Precursor war|act of enormous barbarity]], carried out beyond [[Milky Way|our galaxy]] ten million years before... Because of that barbarism, a greater evil looms. Only the Ur-Didact and the Librarian -- husband and wife pushed into desperate conflict -- hold the keys to a solution. Facing the consequences of a mythic tragedy, one of them must now commit the greatest atrocity of all time — to prevent an insane evil from dominating the entire universe."''<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0765323982/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=heaprcom05-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creativeASIN=0765323982 '''Amazon.com official book description''']</ref>}} | Facing the imminent collapse of their civilization, the Librarian and the Ur-Didact reveal what they know about the relationship between the long-vanished [[Precursor]]s and the Flood.
