We know that a lot of the early Covenant's technology came from several Shield World installations that they stumbled across, allowing the Prophets to reverse-engineer more technology not derived solely from the dreadnought. If it was anything like Trevalyan, then it probably had ships, vehicles and Huragok, which would have been a significant jump in immediate tech level. The cover may depict one of those.-- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 05:52, 22 June 2014 (EDT) | We know that a lot of the early Covenant's technology came from several Shield World installations that they stumbled across, allowing the Prophets to reverse-engineer more technology not derived solely from the dreadnought.

I haven't read anything that [[John Shirley]] has written, but I did some research on the guy. He is a majority of his novels seem to be steampunk related. He did create prequel novels for Borderlands, BioShock, Predator, and Watch_Dogs, and from what I hear, that BioShock novel was very-well received. He is adept at writing about politics and fictional religions and, as Wikipedia claims, his novels "reflects his tendency to create fantasy entertainment which is also political satire, or spiritual allegory". He also seems to actually do the research about the universe before he writes a novel: | |||
{{Article Quote|This novel is a dramatization of the backstory of BioShock and BioShock 2. It is essentially a “prequel” to the events in the first two BioShock games. It incorporates information I gleaned in playing the games through several times and in consulting with designers, online sites, books, interviews. I also pored over background and timeline materials provided for me by 2K and by Tor Books.}} | |||
So I feel hopeful that he can write a successful novel. And at least this time, the aliens cannot say "As the humans say..." - [[User:NightHammer|NightHammer]] ([[User talk:NightHammer|talk]]) 10:29, 22 June 2014 (EDT) | |||
