Some can come away from reading "War and Peace" thinking it a simple adventure story, while others can read the ingredients on a gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.
Well the Forerunner and their time proved to be something no one could have anticipated. I give Greg serious props for that. At one point I naively thought there was little more that we could have learned or guessed. He proved me wrong.
The book showed us the Forerunner (at least most) were just as idiotic and arrogant as any other species, if not more so. It showed us that there is in fact a way to defeat The Flood. And finally of the main points, the escaped prisoner and missing ring that must still be chased down and captured, before the Flood get to it first.
An exciting trilogy in the making? I think so. Cryptum totally reinvented Halo lore in a way I did not think possible. We know how it ends, but not why or how. I think if 343 manages to keep up great story telling like Cryptum and Evolutions, and integrate it into future games, Halo isn't on a bad foot after all.
For now at least, 343 has my faith.
