The cover for Halo: The Thursday War has been revealed and looks a little different from other novels. We finally get another look at the UNSC Infinity which appears in formation with 7 UNSC frigates and cruisers (4 cruisers, 3 frigates). Also there's some unknown Spartan on the cover who appears to be standing on a glass panel and doesn't appear to be a Spartan-IV but rather a Spartan-II. Although he/she appears complexing because of the random red light on their helmet. Now I want to start by adding a brief theory as to what may happen in the novel based on the cover and Glasslands. Since the Infinity appears on the cover, it must appear in the novel along with the other ships. Obviously the Infinity may see some action in this novel even though it was still under construction in Glasslands. The ship may be complete aside from the slip-space drive, but the Forerunner Slipspace tech will get it ready for release in one day or week (with the assistance of the Huragok). We may finally see what this ship is capable of (aside from the combat training deck). But more to the point, I believe that the Infinity, acting as the flagship of a small fleet of UNSC ships, will head to Venezia to deal with the Insurrectionist threat first, and perhaps, will head to Sanghelios to deal with the Servants of Abiding Truth. I also believe these events may be depicted in Halo 4's Spartan Ops, where we may finally, for the first time in the game series, fight Insurrectionist as Spartan-4s. But anyway thats all I have for now. You have any theories? Feel free to post some. --Killamint 10:39, 5 May 2012 (EDT)

I feel The Thursday War is going to explain why the Sangheili are attacking John at the beginning of Halo 4. Also, the name "Thursday War" could imply there is some sort of war that starts in the novel.-- Col. Spartacus ^{Talk Page} _{Contributions} 12:34, 5 May 2012 (EDT)

Oh, there's definitely gonna be a war or battle that starts at the beginning. At the end of Glasslands, Phillips and 'Telcam encountered something and whatever it was exploded in front of them. As far as the Elites, I think its the Servants of Abiding truth that are attacking Chief or some lost, rouge group. --Killamint 05:21, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

Well I think the "...random red light on their helmet" mystery was solved for me, maybe...> --Killamint 18:05, 7 May 2012 (EDT)

I can't remember the name of the spartan on board the port stanley (Naiomi I think) but if I remember correctly she was above Venezia when the explosion happened and when they found out NAiomi's father was one of the elading insurrectionists.Flavius Aetius 08:46, 21 May 2012 (EDT)

Thats correct, spelled Naomi-010 though. Her father should most definitely make an appearance in the book and this will make for a crucial point in the story if Naomi encounters him. Can't wait to see how she reacts to that. But for now I'm mostly concerned about the Infinity's much anticipated appearance and what IT is going to do. --Killamint KillaEX 17:11, 21 May 2012 (EDT)

I knew it, I'm definately looking forward to learning more about the infinity, I've memorize dmost of the Halo universe and I love the statistics about the different starships. My favorite is the Halcyon-Class. The Halcyons (with the right upgrades like the Autumn had) were the most durable and the most powerful warships in the UNSCFlavius Aetius 14:02, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

I sure hope that we get to fight some Humans in Halo 4, like you said Killamint. I was quite disappointed when the Arbiter only fought humans in a cut scene in HALO 2. They were right there! well that's my rant for the day, thanks for reading.Weeping Angel 21:25, 2 June 2012 (EDT)
