Check out all my theories and creations at HBO!

Or read my fanfic, "Effort Cannot Conquer Faith" -- it won a signed novel from Eric Nylund!

That back matter better not be final. I thought everybody knew about the Spartans.

That doesn't really make sense, and yes, we do know about the other Spartans and their whereabouts, not in detail though. Thats what this book will be for.

So basically Kelly along with Catherine and possibly Mendez are training Spartan lll's on Onyx when a structure (possibly the Ark, not likely, but possible) is activated. From what I can tell with the info given it's proabably a weapon but with the name Ghosts of Onyx it may be surviving Forerunners..


Exactly what i think except for the part about the ark

I loved that update, this new book by Eric Nylund might actually be worth reading. The ground texture work sounds great. I'm just wondering though, but you said the grass was wind swept. Might I believe that this is an implication that the grass sways in the wind? How did you guys mange to get such an effect to work nicely. I know in games like splinter cell, and metal gear solid they attempted such effects. However they messed up and it made things look a bit off. Thanks for the update. Here's a video in celebration of this weekly update

Great update. I loved it. Thanks much for sharing the covers.
I believe that the new armoured being we see in the front cover is probably the next group of SPARTANs that Chief Mendez was training.

Loved the update, and is that new armor part of the program Ackerson had on par with the SPARTAN program?

  • 09.08.2006 6:31 PM PDT

Nerd Rage - It makes the internet go 'round.

I hope when it says $10.99 Canadian it means this will be a large novel instead of the previous ones which definitely weren't $10.99 big.

that guy in cool armour, i think he's an ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) commando, a marines that has been recruited by the ONI to perform special forces mission, although they have been lacking in missions sinc ethe spartans came along

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

On the back it said they would need "hundreds of willing soldiers," so the new armor guy could be related. Looks like it might be Mark III or Mark II armor or something.

Ok, I'm not gonna lie, I felt my bowels moving a bit when I saw that cover. :-)

Awesome update Frankie. And the Cover-Art and interview with Mr. Nylund nearly made me die of joy. And everyone who is complaining about the updates should keep this in mind;
HE DOESNT HAVE TO TELL US ANYTHING, BUT HE STILL DOES!!
And for the next Mister Chief, could we see how he spends his weekends? Scuba diving? Ping-Pong? Killing equally weird/disturbing/exciting alien creatures?

We left before you came.

The different Spartan looks like it lost its visor. Maybe Spartan IIIs?
