One of the guys at Bungie said in an interview that the forth will come out after Halo 2 is released to fill in some of the blanks.

Would hazard a guess that book 4 will be the story of Halo 2...kinda like how book 2 (the Flood) was the story of Halo 1...will more than likely as said above, fill in all the bits they couldnt explain in the gameplay (although from the hints of movies of huge space battles in game sure sounds like they are gonna be trying this time around even more than the first time).

first off, i didn't know there was going to be a 4th book at all thanks for the info thats amazing! secondly with how big this story is going to be it'll probably be the biggest book of all don't you think. then there might be a 5th after halo 2 maybe cos that'd be cool. whos writing it because there are two authors responsible for the halo book trilogy?

its possible but what if they do a fifth. i'd wait till they're all done then buy the boxset like the lord of the rings one that comes with the hobbit (as an accurate example) speaking of lord of the rings books it'd be cool for a halo appendixes with just about every tadbit of halo data imaginable

Where the heck did they mention there was going to be a fourth book anyways? If they did, I didn't catch it. (Which means my information grid may have a hole *grrr*)

umm probably since the fourth book will cover halo 2, have you thought about that just maybe so bungie doesnt spoil halo 2 for you that it will come out a little after halo 2??

well i didn't know for sure if there was going to be a 4th halo book but alot of people here seem to think so and its only logical that its the novel of halo 2 like 'the flood' was of halo 1

theres a small possibility that they will be a 5th book (SPOILER) in the 3rd dr harsley took a spartan with her this is erics work so he might want to keep it for after halo 2 the 4th will be on halo 2 im 99% sure and william will probably write the 4th since he wrote the halo 1 story
hope thats not confusing

Yeah, if we do get more books (can't see there not being), 4th has to be Halo2, 5th as Elite says will probably cover what Halsey is up to with a Spartan. But we also have a few unknowns also, like the "missing" Spartans who were not at Reach when it was blown who were off on a mission too far away to be recalled to go either to Reach, or to try and go on the missiong to contact a Prophet....like what were they up too? We also have had clues of whats Ackerson up too, and his project in competition to the Spartans2's. Getting answers to them would be nice too (not like I'ld trust Ackerson as far as I would throw him outta an airlock). Theres also the possibility of a newer generation of Spartans after Halsey was allowed to "try again" when the war started going badly...so we might get to meet more later. Heck, with so many unanswered bits, let alone the artifacts, all the other "Halos" and whatever Sparkys up too...could be a long series of books this :)
