Bungie will not introduce characters from the book, simply because not everyone has read them.
You don't know that for certain, and that's not quite the question he asked. If you don't think she is, then say why. Don't speak for Bungie, though.
Personally, while I agree that she is a big character- I don't know how plausible her return might be. She maybe could come in for another book that takes place after Halo 3, or coincides with the events of Halo 3, but I just can't see her returning.
The only way I could see her returning is if she returned between the events of Halo 2 and 3, and she pretty much is just kind of around, and treated like Johnson or Keyes or Lord Hood- they don't go into her background, but she can help to be an integral part of the story still. I've actually wondered once or twice if Halsey might be the stand-in for Cortana since Cortana is MIA. That would actually be a neat little twist.
