Guys Read: The Warlords of Recess - A Short Story from Guys Read: Other Worlds

Eliot et Fiona vivent avec leur grand-mère, leur seule famille. Et les journées sont à mourir d’ennui : aucune distraction autorisée et un règlement à respecter à la lettre sous peine de sanctions atroces. Sauf que… le jour de leur quinze ans, un homme frappe à leur porte et prétend être leur oncle. Les jumeaux découvrent alors que leur famille est en parfaite santé, et qu’elle a hâte de les rencontrer… pour les tuer. Eliot et Fiona vont devoir accomplir des exploits héroïques imposés par les dieux et résister aux tentations des enfers pour sauver leur peau et prouver qu’ils méritent de rester en vie.

Le Pacte Des Immortels

Eliot et Fiona doivent triompher des deux dernières épreuves imposées par les dieux s’ils veulent survivre. Comme si c’était leur faute si leur déesse de mère avait choisi d’avoir des enfants avec le prince des Enfers ! Les Infernaux non plus n’ont pas dit leur dernier mot et entendent revendiquer leurs droits sur les faits et gestes des jumeaux… pour déclarer la guerre à leurs adversaires éternels. Eliot et Fiona sauront-ils préserver le pacte de paix entre les dieux et les Infernaux ? Et surtout, parviendront-ils à rester en vie ?

The Human-Covenant war rages on as the alien juggernaut sweeps inexorably toward its final goal: destruction of all human life!
Halo has been destroyed, and the threat it posed to sentient life, neutralized. But victory has come at a terrible cost for the UNSC. Thousands of valiant soldiers fell in the battle to prevent the alien construct from falling into the enemy’s clutches. Now, everything depends on the Spartan known as the “Master Chief.” Yet even with the aid of the artificial intelligence Cortana, the Master Chief will be hard-pressed to rescue survivors and evade the Covenant ships patrolling the remains of Halo in debris-strewn space. Ahead lies a dangerous voyage home, through a gauntlet of Covenant forces. For the sake of all, the Master Chief and his war-torn squad must not only survive, but take the fight to the enemy with a decisive first strike.This novel is based on a Mature-rated video game.Bungie, Halo, Xbox, the Microsoft Game Studios logo and the Xbox Logos are registered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

Opération first strike (Halo)

As the bloody Human-Covenant War rages on Halo, the fate of humankind may rest with one warrior, the lone SPARTAN survivor of another legendary battle... the desperate, take-no-prisoners struggle that led humanity to Halo--the fall of the planet Reach. Now, brought to life for the first time, here is the full story of that glorious, doomed conflict.While the brutal Covenant juggernaut sweeps inexorably through space, intent on wiping out humankind, only one stronghold remains--the planet Reach. Practically on Earth's doorstep, it is the last military fortress to defy the onslaught. But the personnel here have another, higher priority: to prevent the Covenant from discovering the location of Earth.Outnumbered and outgunned, the soldiers seem to have little chance against the Covenant, but Reach holds a closely guarded secret. It is the training ground for the very first "super soldiers." Code-named SPARTANs, these highly advanced warriors, specially bioengineered and technologically augmented, are the best in the universe--quiet, professional, and deadly.Now, as the ferocious Covenant attack begins, a handful of SPARTANs stand ready to wage ultimate war. They will kill, they will be destroyed, but they will never surrender. And at least one of them--the SPARTAN known as Master Chief--will live to fight another day on a mysterious and ancient, artificial world called Halo...
