The '''''Forerunner Trilogy''''' is a series of ''[[Halo]]'' novels focusing on [[Forerunner]] life 100,000 years before the [[Human-Covenant War]], being written by [[Greg Bear]].<ref>[http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=921153 HBO Forums: Greg Bear writing Halo novels about Forerunner]</ref>
 
==Background==
{{quote|A science fiction icon and winner of the field’s highest awards, Greg Bear has signed on to write three Halo novels set in the time of the Forerunners, the creators and builders of the Halos. Almost nothing is known for sure about this ancient race. Worshiped by the Covenant as gods, their engineering relics pepper the galaxy, and their connections to humanity remains unanswered. Devoted fans of both the books and games will finally get to delve deep into the era of these enigmatic beings, and discover for themselves the epic story behind one of the great mysteries of the Halo universe: the complete disappearance of the Forerunners from existence.

{{quote|It's going to be a trilogy. A connected universe that will remain faithful to the scale and mysteries, while exploring the detail and challenges of a VERY powerful culture. This won't be some skirt-raising exercise in Forerunner populist-ism. Folks know way more about Forerunners than you think, but we're definitely going to respect that strange sense of wonder and awe that Bungie infused from day one. It will be BIG Greg Bear fiction in a faintly familiar place, but one that's full of surprises. Think Eon.|[[Frank O'Connor|Frankie]].}}
 
The series was officially announced at the [http://www.emeraldcitycomicon.com/index.php Emerald City ComiCon] in [[United States of America|Seattle, Washington]], where its author, [[Greg Bear]], made a guest appearance.<ref>[http://www.emeraldcitycomicon.com/programming.php#SunB12pm EmeraldCity ComiCon 2009 schedule]</ref>
 
==First Novel==
