I just love laughing at all the people who swore humanity was the forerunners. In the terminals it very blatantly says that the forerunners discovered us, meaning we were different species. When Spark says "you are forerunner" he means it in a metaphorical state. That humanity is the inheritor of what they created.Hmm...I'll have to go back and reread the Terminals.
I'll be reading this Cryptum book.
Please do, its a very good book, my favorite to date.I think I'll hate it, though. IMO, the Forerunners were cooler when they didn't call themselves the Forerunners, and when they were much more abstract as a plot-point.
I don't think, based on forum-talk and some excerpt-fragments that I read, that Mr. Bear understands what makes Halo tick. He's not at the heart of the universe; he's not writing on the correct string. Eric Nylund understood. Greg Bear is just writing Sci-Fi; he isn't writing Halo.
I curse Microsoft's name for many things already, but if they've okayed a book that puts a massive scar on a beloved story, I may not buy anything 343i related ever again. Halo Legends sucked, and if this sucks (from what I've seen of it so far, it does), then IMO, 343 sucks, and Halo is dead to me.
