Subject: How Many Books Are There?

Believe. Bungie.

I was wondering exactly how many books Bungie has developed for the series. As well as the new books developed after Bungie gave rights to Microsoft and how many books there are all together.

Reason being that have been working and am having a time where there is not much to do after work because of friends still being in school. My solution being buying the books to my one of my favorite games.

Believe. Bungie.

I was under the belief that Bungie had hired writers to write the books that would accompany their IP. Is this not the case. I'm quite certain the books are considered canon so the writing must have been overseen by Bungie in some way for them to consider it canonical with their games.

Straight from the wandering mind of Watson 203

The Writers for the novels were either "hired" by Bungie or Microsoft to write canonical fiction.
Currently there are 11 novels (Counting Evolutions as two) with 3 others still coming. They are:
Contact Harvest
The Cole Protocol
Ghosts of Onyx (These are obtainable as a trilogy)

The Fall of Reach
The Flood
First Strike (These all follow on from each other in this order)

Halo: Evolutions
OR Halo: Evolutions Volume I & II

Halo: Cryptum
Halo: Primordium
Unnanounced Sequel (This trilogy is the Forerunner Saga)

Halo: Glasslands
Halo: The Thursday War (Announced but not available to buy yet)
Unnanounced Sequel (This Trilogy is set around the time of Halo 4)

This list doesn't include any of the Graphic Novels, the Encyclopedia or stuff like that.
Hope this helps.
