{{Article | {{Article quote|It is [[2555]], more than two years after the [[John-117|Master Chief]] went missing-in-action following a [[Battle of Installation 00|decisive conflict]] on [[Installation 00]] — the massive, extragalactic [[Forerunner]] construct known as the Ark — as part of the final chapter in humanity’s bloody [[Human-Covenant War|thirty-year struggle]] against the overwhelming forces of the [[Covenant]]. Now, as a tenuous peace exists between the humans and the [[Sangheili|Elites]], a startling scientific discovery is made…and the riddle behind its Forerunner origins could very well seal the fate of the entire galaxy within a matter of weeks. In order to unravel these dangerous secrets, a heroic, hastily formed coalition of humans and Elites must attempt to overcome their differences as they embark on a [[Operation: FAR STORM|covert mission]] back to the Ark — an astonishing, enigmatic place beyond comprehension from which few have returned and where mortal danger awaits them all…{{Ref/Reuse|s&s}}}} | ||

*The book's cover is illustrated by [[:Category:Images by Kory Lynn Hubbell|Kory Lynn Hubbell]], a concept artist who worked for [[343 Industries]] on ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. ''Hunters in the Dark'' was Hubbell's first book cover illustration, though he would later go on to illustrate the cover of ''[[Halo: Last Light]]''.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://koryface.tumblr.com/post/115745859150/halo-hunters-in-the-dark-i-was-lucky-enough-to-do|Site=Tumblr|Page=koryface|Quote='''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''' I was lucky enough to do a book cover for the next Halo Novel, Hunters in the Dark.

*The title of the novel is an allusion to several lines (691-694) from the 1781 Poem ''Retirement'' by [[Wikipedia:William Cowper|William Cowper]], which are featured as an epigraph:<br>{{Quote|Philologists, who chase<br>A panting syllable through time and space,<br>Start it at home, and hunt it in the dark<br>To Gaul, to Greece, and into Noah's Ark.|William Cowper}} | *The title of the novel is an allusion to several lines (691-694) from the 1781 Poem ''Retirement'' by [[Wikipedia:William Cowper|William Cowper]], which are featured as an epigraph:<br>{{Quote|Philologists, who chase<br>A panting syllable through time and space,<br>Start it at home, and hunt it in the dark<br>To Gaul, to Greece, and into Noah's Ark.|William Cowper}} | ||
**A [[Wikipedia:Philology|Philologist]] is one who studies ancient texts and languages. This epigraph is therefore appropriate as Luther Mann's study of the ancient Forerunner language brought him on a chase from Trevelyan to Zeta Halo and finally to the Ark. | **A [[Wikipedia:Philology|Philologist]] is one who studies ancient texts and languages.
