Epilogue: The Thoughts of a Warrior
It's really hard to try and understand what this universe is about. It feels like some kind of sick joke when you hear that everything that your race has done, everything that any race has done, has been orchestrated to produce the best possible outcome for a military standpoint. It's hard to understand why you're around and what you're supposed to do when you hear that.
It's sad that even the best intentioned of any species is actually a failure in the eyes of the experimenters. For eons, we've been bred and skilled in the ways of war and violence. For some it's seen as distasteful and repugnant. For others it is a sacred calling.
For me?
I'm a Spartan, the Covenant is still out there. And even with the founding of the Coalition we haven't won the war. No, the war has just begun for all of us. Those past decades of conflict were the warm up for this...for this Great War.
The Covenant lost their repository of Knowledge, and with it, the ability to utilize the weath of combat commanders within it. But they're not gone. Far from it. Now they're mad. Humanity and our allies have defeated them, and now they want revenge. What had been one front in our galaxy, not it's spread to a hundred. Struggles between the Light of the Coalition and the Darkness of the Covenant rage unchecked.
The Jedi would call it a struggle between the Light side and the Dark side of the force.
I just call it War.
I just call it Hell.
I'm a Spartan, and the Covenant is still out there. The Horde is out there. Humanity is still at war, and because of that, I'm still at war.

SPARTAN –117, Master Chief, John

And with that, I call the first in the Far Flung Hope series to an end. It's been really fun and I hope all of you that have read and reviewed my story read my next book in this series;

Far Flung Hope, The Great War.

The Conflict now spills over into a thousand different worlds. Battling the enemy throught history and reality in a million different incarnations of earth. Battling side by side with Dragons and Mages against Sith and Dark Jedi. Fighiting in M40 Ridgeway tanks and M4 Shermans against Lizard Land Cruisers. Aiding Resistance groups in Nazi Germany and the Fascist United States throw off their new Covenant Masters. Try to unite the Union and the Confederacy after over a century of violence to beat back the Covenant.

Do tune in, it will be so fun I should think.
