Knowing how the novels work,this book will probably slightly deal with Halo Wars or possibly Halo 3 Recon.Because for Fall of Reach it was Halo,for First Strike it was Halo 2,for Contact Harvest it was Halo 3.[[User:Sith Venator|Sith Venator]] 03:25, 13 November 2008 (UTC)O and ya MC will probably be in like 1 chapter then mentioned alot.

:Actually, a railgun and a coilgun are completely different. It's in the names - a railgun uses magnetised rails to propel a projectile. A coilgun activates and deactivates a series of magnetic coils to provide the propulsion. Same idea, using magnetic force, but different methods. --'''[[CoH|<font color=purple>Councillor</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=blue>Specops306</font>]]''' - '''''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Qur'a</font>]] [[userWiki:Specops306|<font color=purple>'Morhek</font>]]''''' 06:02, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

The description is still in basic form. I doubt someone unless they were a scientist would say "Well good sir I do believe that it is in essence a coilgun due to the fact...." Calling it in essence a railgun means it uses the same principles but is not in fact a railgun.

I just got the book and have started to read it. It's a little different from Nylund's and Dietz's style, but it's still enjoyable as an overall novel. I just wanted to know, who else here on Halopedia has started reading the novel? What are your opinions? I was too lazy to create a blog for this so I put it on the talk page instead. Anyways, insightful reviews of a novel are key aspects in improving your writing, it's good to express your views as well, so go on!

Hey, this is Taco033.  I added the first 80 pages or so of plot, but no templates for "Spoilers Start Here" or anything.  I'm really surprised no one has added this stuff already, I remember Contact Harvest was updated about five hours after release.  Finally, I'd like to work a bit more on this article.  Those interested are welcome to join.  All I want to do is discuss the book in general (such as ''is'' Thel 'Vadamee the Arbiter?).
