I suppose I'm the only one who was looking forward to another novel by William C. Dietz for the sake of concistancy?

AWESOME. I can't wait to get my hands on this new book. I hope it resolves Dr. Hasely's secret mission.

Ghosts of Onyx.... Sounds like, "Deaths of War."

Onyx could have been an Outer Colony or something. Whatever, maybe the book will tie in with Halo 3...?

this book is gonna be freakin awesome. i've read all the other books and am looking forward to the book tieing halo 2 to halo 3. but wtf happened to the other spartans in "First Strike"? i want a book between first strike and halo 2 to explain what happened to them. i think if they just randomly appear in this novel it will piss a few people off cause where have they been?

Im guessing the "Ghosts" are soldiers or Spartans that were presumed dead... especially since Frankie said we would freak out when we see the cover art. There has to be more than one Spartan on the cover... (I hope so anyway)

The Spartans In "First Strike" Where Actualy Very Interesting, but I hope think can they can skip the "Halo 2" Subject of the Story, and get to Between Halo 2-Halo 3, so then we could get a lil bit of info on whats happening with Chief And that War he`s supposed to End..

A witty signature.

If they involve any spartans, I think they're going to have to kill them off... Halo 3 just seems like a game with less than, oh, say, 2 spartans. As in 1. As in MC.

I'm saying I don't believe that there will ever be a halo game with more than one Spartan. Ever.

Very little time passes between H2 and H3. The MC is still picking himself up when the Forerunner ship arrives at Earth. Very little potential for a novel there.

Kool man. I'm still reading 3rd Strike so you people stop saying things about the end!! Oh boy, Ghosts of Onyx! Sounds kooler than "Coral," Maybe it will tie in with some Halo 2 stuff and maybe some Halo 3 stuff.

every body is so hestitant on the fact that is going to be another two books after this. think about it. Three book coincided with the first game and so these three will most likely go along with halo 2. and will lead up to (if not including) the events in halo 3. So all this means is that there will be three very good books coming out the near future. yay

First off, I think William Dietz did a great job with The Flood. He tied in the backstory with all the other Pillar of Autumn personel that landed on Halo. Yes, we did know about Master Chief's exploits, but we didn't know about the rest of the crew. It seems to me that many people don't remember that 8 Spartans survived. MC, Kelly, Linda, Fred, and Will. The other 3 Spartans were not even present at the mission briefing that Halsey gave in The Fall of Reach. Remember, she said that 3 others were on missions too distant to make it back. The Halo universe is so vast. Tons of books could be written. Is there a short and definite time frame between First Strike and Halo 2? Think about this for the title of the new book. Ghosts are representative of people who have passed on. It could represent of what was left behind such as artifacts, secrets, technology. Everybody is so worried about Master Chief not being the only Spartan left. I think having other Spartans left compliments him and his abilities greatly. Not to mention how much Covenant butt can be kicked with more than one Spartan. Love the books. Highly anticipating Ghosts of Onyx.

Not likely... I believe I have heard Franky and other bungie staffers say on several occasions how much they dislike Italy. To bad pasta boy!!! Ohhh, I'm just kidden, who know's man... Anyway, I just went and pre-ordered the new book today (also got the graphic novel for good measure) Can't wait!!!! Woo Hooo
