We'll bury our burdens in blood...

So I got it and read it in one evening. I really enjoyed it. It was a fairly simple read and I would have liked to see a bit more action, but all in all it was very enjoyable. I give it a solid 9 out of 10. Post your thoughts here about anything regarding the book. A quick review, ideas about it's cannon, anything.

Cryptum is a weatlh of knowledge regarding Halo lore and mythos. It clears up many questions we've all had for ages but also opens up a ton more. I can not WAIT for the next 2 books, too bad I have no idea when they're looking to be released.

"Question. Which Spartan is best?"
"That's a ridiculous question."
"False. Master Chief."
"Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought."
"Spartans shoot Sangheili. Spartans. Sangheili.....Battle Star Galactica."

I cried when they all died at the end.

OMG a Pwny!

For some of the new info, Halo Waypoint's site has some information, they have a Cryptum Glossary up. This book is amazing!

I think Greg Bear was an excellent choice for these books. The fact that he worked so close with 343 and everyone really helps it fit with everything.

What kind of questions? Like "What/Who the hell are the precursors?"

How the hell did the Forerunners lose to the Flood?
THEY COULD DESTROY ENTIRE GALAXIES FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

A fair question I think that the other books will address this. And you know Mendicant Bias will be part of the reason.
