Subject: The Next Halo Novel: Ghosts of Onyx

The next Halo novel is Ghosts of Onyx, by Eric Nylund. Let the celebrations begin! Our new publishing partner, Tor, will release the latest novel in November, 2006 continuing and expanding the scenarios and characters created by Nylund, and expanding the Halo universe a little bit more.

Look for the signs, the keepers of the flame.
They will lead you to war, and perhaps, to victory.

Finish the Fight

Awesome, been waiting for this for a while. Can't wait to read this sucker and see how it ties in [if at all] with Halo 3. Eric Nylund is an amazing sci-fi writer and the Halo world is so immersive that it makes for great books. The whole "two other books attached to something else" makes me a bit hesitant though. I don't know....

I've never really seen Eric Nylund as an "incredibly awesome" writer, and I have read some seperate stuff that's not the novels. He's good, but in my opinion not the best.

But back on task, I'm not really excited, that just means that there's going to be a lot more people on the Halo 3 Forum coming up with more theories and ways that Halo 3 should be exactly like the books..

  • 08.29.2006 3:01 PM PDT

Yes! The Halo novels are incredible!

As a name, I prefer "Ghosts of Coral." It rolls off the tounge better.

Im totally stoked about this, i doubt it'll be better that First Strike though but im really curious as to what "Ghosts of Onyx" means.
