Wars end. But hatred, guilt, and devotion can endure beyond the grave.
With the Covenant War over, the Office of Naval Intelligence faces old grievances rising again to threaten Earth. The angry, bitter colonies, still with scores to settle from the insurrection put on hold for thirty years, now want justice -- and so does a man whose life was torn apart by ONI when his daughter was abducted for the SPARTAN-II program. Black ops squad Kilo-Five find their loyalties tested beyond breaking point when the father of their Spartan comrade, still searching for the truth about her disappearance, prepares to glass Earth's cities to get an answer. How far will Kilo-Five go to stop him? And will he be able to live with the truth when he finds it? The painful answer lies with a man long dead, and a conscience that still survives in the most unlikely, undiscovered place.

Review
“Traviss here employs a raw, unadorned style that makes this a real page-turner. But while Dictata is a quick read, it's not quickly forgotten…. Dictata is also Traviss's best Halo novel…” ―Paul Semel, Official Xbox Magazine

... eloquence and patience to write everything that I would like to about the Kilo-Five trilogy so I'll be brief
By Patrick
I don't have the eloquence and patience to write everything that I would like to about the Kilo-Five trilogy so I'll be brief. Would I recommend this series to other Halo fans of my caliber. Yes. It has been declared canon and whether we like it or not, that's the way it is. However, I feel Karen Traviss (you cannot comprehend the amount of loathing that drips from that name every time it passes my lips) has single handedly destroyed the story line of every character associated with her books. As I'm sure you've read from the other reviews, the character assassination of one of my most beloved characters, Dr. Halsey, is constant to the point of being obsessive. Instead of making you ask yourself "Is Halsey really this bad?" You find yourself asking, "Wow. What kind of Mommy issues must this author be dealing with. It was like she had been handed a skeletal dossier on a few characters and the storyline and told, "Here. Do whatever you want." Her military jargon is lacking to the point of laughability and throughout most of this trilogy, I had to keep reminding myself that I was reading a Halo novel. The endless stretches of dialogue and self-righteous ramblings are punctuated very infrequently by lack luster and lacking actions scenes. You can almost picture Karen Traviss (again, Venom) hunched over her writing desk, forcing herself to write these scenes, all the while muttering "F*cking fanboys..." before she straightens her back, looks down her nose, and launches back in to another tirade about ethics and morality, all seasoned with a healthy dose of Nazi comparisons. If she had bothered to read Eric Nylund's books at all (and from her story line it is CLEAR she did not) she would have seen what it was supposed to be. And I could care less about other writers styles, or artistic differences. What we LOVED about the other Halo novels was that it took our favorite video game and took it into the world of literary, MILITARY science fiction. And as a huge fan of military science fiction I can tell you, that across the myriad of series that I have read, I have never been more let down, disappointed, and infuriated by where an author took the story. So thank you Karen Traviss. Thank you for taking something that I have loved every part of and have since it's inception and grafting on your atrocious abortion. I wouldn't even use your books to press flowers.

Terrible. Karen is the Uwe Boll of novels.
By patamon93
Wow... and here I thought Karen Traviss couldn't get any worse. Holy hell did she prove me wrong.
To be brief... Karen continues to fail by mistaking character development for repetition. This book has the same problem as the first two... only worse. Meaning, Karen keeps cramming in the same character realizations OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. How many times will Vaz stop and curse Halsey. How many times will we see Osman ride the training wheels of "CINCONI in training". HOW MANY TIMES are we going to see BB yack about his damaged fragment + being human + the same garbage over and over. HOW MANY TIMES are we going to see each character waste 50 pages on "it was then after I reacted like *insert here*, that I knew Kilo-5 was family. I have to protect them... blah blah bliddy". Karen spends so much time visiting the same points, barely any actual story progression is made at all.
The ending felt way too rushed after wasting the rest of the book on exposition, rehash, etc...After 3 books, the only interesting new potential plot lines that were revealed were; Sinks and his potential rampancy, Chol Von ( but this is a moot path since humanity can destroy the kig-yar), annnnnnnnndddddddd thats it. Nothing else happened in this book. The defusing of Steffan was a TERRIBLE mistake. He could paved the way for a much more interesting storyline in later books/games. I personally would have loved to play a halo game, or read a book, where the insurrection rises again.
A Note to 343i... this is why the last book in the Forerunner Saga, and the Halo 4 story SSSUCKED. Please don't shape anymore content around the Kilo 5 trilogy: IT SSSSUCKS. And please show Karen the door. We need Eric Nylund, and Tessa Klum.
Still the only good thing in the Halo Universe she has written was "Human Weakness".

Neither grounded nor eloquent
By Mark Hakanson
The final entry in the "I hate Catherine Halsey" series is a feel-good story with a stereotypical ending that can be seen from a mile away. The entire cast has the exact same moral compass, and never make it off of their high horses for long enough to see that their self-righteous approach to their mission directly conflicts the lack of human decency they display elsewhere. It's a story about ONI agents completely ignoring their basic job description.
Every other page is punctuated by some sort of monologue about how everything is Dr Halsey's fault, despite the fact that Halsey plays no part in the story at any point in this book.
Banter between characters remains cheesy as always. Some of the more interesting characters get only minor focus, and in some cases no closure whatsoever. Fortunately this book focuses almost explicitly on Traviss' own characters. The stories of other characters like
Halsey and 'Mdama are picked up in places like Halo Spartan Ops (now viewable in Waypoint) rather than in this book. This having been considered, I'd only recommend this book to Halo fans who really want to hear every story from the Halo extended universe.
