Halo: The Thursday War is the second novel in the Kilo-Five Trilogy by Karen Traviss, and a direct follow-up to Halo: Glasslands. It was released on October 2, 2012.[1]
Official summary
"Halo: The Thursday War picks up immediately where Halo: Glasslands left off, with forces on Earth and among the Covenant threatening a peace that is precarious at best. With a splinter group among the Sangheili pushing for war, some human colonies rebel against Earth authority; and as ONI policy continues to shift with the volatile situation in space, the discovery of a trove of Forerunner technology on Onyx provokes leaders on Earth to seek uses for it in the conflict. For the fight is far from over..."
Characters
Trivia
- A Thursday War is a colloquial name given in the Royal Navy for weekly war-fighting and damage control exercises that are held during Flag Officer Sea Training (FOST), so named because they are usually held on a Thursday.[2]
- The title of the novel is foreshadowed in Chapter 17 of Halo: Glasslands, where the A.I. Black-Box tells Captain Serin Osman that "We might even get you on a Thursday war."[3]
- The cover art depicts the Template:UNSCship among a group of Marathon-class cruisers and frigates.
- The release date for the novel is exactly 343 days after the release date of Halo: Glasslands.
- An excerpt of the novel's prologue first chapter was released in September 3, 2012 on Amazon.com. [4]
- Red vs Blue references were made again, similar to Glasslands, a running-gag of Sangheili mispronouncing the name "Phillips" as "Phyllis", which is the phonetic pronunciation of the AI F.I.L.L.S
