Trivia

• The novel's title makes reference to the Prophet of Mercy's quote in Halo 2 when he describes Installation 05 and how it will begin the Covenant's Great Journey. It is also a reference to a quote from the Psalm of the Journey on page 3: "the galaxy will be cleansed by a Divine Wind."
  • The term "Divine Wind" is also a direct translation from "Kamikaze" in Japanese.
