Halo: Nightfall

Taking place between the events of Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians, Halo: Nightfall follows the origin story of legendary manhunter Jameson Locke and his team as they are caught in a horrific terrorist attack while investigating terrorist activity on the distant colony world of Sedra.
