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.
