Subject: The Next Halo Novel: Ghosts of Onyx

Its a theory you idiot it doesnt have to make sense

Do you belive in love at first sight? Or should i walk by again?

ghost meaning gaurding the artifact...meaning ghost of onyx = ghost gaurding onyx?

who knows it could be a place or an artifact but im pretty sure onyx is just another way of sayin black or dark

Maybe Onyx is a world that fell to the Covenant. Possibly, Dr. Halsey (sp)? could be returning to uncover a Forerunner artifact(or the flood) to use against the Covenant.

Another Novel is Great, I loved Reading "The Flood" which was probobly one of there best and with the New flash of Halo 3, more and more Novels will come, and lets not Think of what the Movie will bring.I Really hope They can give this Novel a Great Cover, with a good old Spartan-in-Combat kinda shot,and there has to have a BR in it, I mean, its essential to make a REAL cool Spartan Pose.

I hope it tells what happens to Halsey, and Kelly, and Fred, and Linda, and Will, and Ackerson, and several other characters. I wonder what Onyx is?

of course nulynd is fine and dandy and i know the story has to be good because of the halo theme but im just worried about were it can go except for in the same direction that halo 3 is. Im not sure i want to have some secret unravled to me before i can play through it on my wide screen.

Well I have only read the first book Fall of Reach, so I have quite a bit of reading to do before this next book comes out but I can't wait.

I love The Fall of Reach, and First Strike. and while enjoy the ODST parts in The Flood, William Dietz just doesnt do the Chief justice. but Nylund, on the other hand, has done an admirable job with him, adding depth where some thought there was none, without taking away the aspects that make the Chief who he is. Eric Nylund, i salute you!

Wow. my first post in a loooong time.

I think that it would have to do with possibly more spartans falling to the covenants ultimate weapon... their ability to glass planets completely with plasma and destroy every living thing habiting on those planets. And that Onyx is another Planet with... again possible ties to the Forerunner. Reasoning behind my theory?? They (the covenant) glassed reach and Marty O'Donnel made a song about it. Its Title?? Ghosts of Reach...

Ghosts of Reach / Ghosts of Onyx

A little bit of a resemblence there dont you think.

From the good Sarge.

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.
This kind of news is only second to the weekly updates. November? Thats not too far from now. I want some Whambulance in this next update, if you don't mind. Nothing beats a cheater begging to be able to cheat some more.

Agreed, I highly doubt we will see anything about Halo 3.

What could be the major highlite of the story is the Supreme Commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice; the Elite who becomes the Arbiter. Perhaps giving more insight into how he chased the "Pillar of Autumn" when it escaped "Reach", and the destruction of Halo. Along with Halsey and Kelly and everything else after First Strike.

Let's not forget, the Chief doesn't recieve his armor until he gets back to Earth, however, at the beginning of Halo 2 he has already been in combat with it and needs repairs. John has seen combat post First Strike, pre-Halo 2.

Remember when the book said that there was something familiar in the holographic icons to the chief...maybe that has to do with onyx...

I need to know what time period/subject the books cover. I haven't played Halo2 yet and don't want the book to ruin playing through the campaign.
