Hi, i've been reading the Halo books for a loooong time now, i've always had the urge to try writing a book on my own. So, i've finally got off my ass and I started a little bit. It's based on a ODST when the Insurgent fighting broke out.
Anything good? Anything bad? It may be too short to tell anything, but it's a start. Please don't judge.
LCpl. Frank Schwartz winced as the first HEV, abbreviated for Human-Entry-Vehicle, launched like a human cannon from the UNSC Halcyon-Class Cruiser, 'Red Dawn'. He's been on dozens of training and real mission drops, but he is still was surprised whenever the countdown went from 1 to 0. They said it was going to be a cake walk, a simple insertion into an Insurrection outpost that had been suspected of carrying nuclear warheads.
At first, the Insurrection was no problem to the UNSC. The Lance Corporal never thought it would come to an undeclared civil war. Now, it's been little engagements throughout the Outer Colonies. Two years ago, Schwartz joined the Special Forces: the ODST's. The same year, the UNSC thought it was beneficiary to use nuclear weaponry to put their fist down on the rebellion on the Far Isle colony. He thought it would be the perfect time to join seeing as he thought he would have no tough missions, thinking the Insurgents would give in.
He was totally wrong as he thought back to the day where it was much simpler than this. All of his thought instantly faded away when the Captain's voice broke over the intercom of his HEV. "Schwartz, I want you to take bravo team to take the outpost on the southern side, as you have the marksmen and silenced weapons in your squad." The transmission ended in brief static, and then the line was cut off. The Lance Corporal checked to his right and relived to see his silenced M7 sub-machinegun. It would be useful for the close-quarters bases the rebels favored.
I know, it's just a rough draft. Any ideas?
