The Razor.

For the honour of the Mirratord.

I finished Cryptum today, and while it was a fantastic book, I am a little confused as to when it takes place relative to other events in the Halo universe.

How many years before the activation of the Halo rings is it set? And how many years before or after the incident on planet G 617 g(where the Forerunners supposedly first encountered the Flood) does it take place?

If anyone could help that would be awesome.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

109,000 B.C.E is where the story begins, methinks Elliott. The Didact fires the Rings in 100,000 B.C.E, so there's a 9000 year difference there.

Okay, I think I get it now. I just found it really confusing when I first started reading, because we knew that first contact occurred at G 617 g, but with the fact that the humans discovered the Flood first and fought them back beyond the galaxy's horizon (Mass Effect reference FTW) the time line just got a mid muddled.
