Trivia
- The name of the novel is a reference to the UN Colonial Mortal Dictata, a piece of legislation associated with the ethics of medical science. Dr. Catherine Halsey broke the Dictata on several occasions, namely when flash cloning a functioning human brain.[3]
- The cover art depicts a young Naomi-010 looking at a Mark V(B) helmet, foreshadowing her induction into the SPARTAN-II program. However, the Mark V (B) was issued only to Spartans of the UNSC Army's SPECWAR Group Three. This may reflect her armor's stated resemblance to the first-generation Mark V, though the cover art for Halo: The Thursday War shows her armor as blue, not gray.
- An online excerpt of the novel's prologue was released at Tor.com on July 17, 2013.[4] A preview consisting of the novel's first chapter and the audiobook's second chapter was released at HaloWaypoint.com on January 16, 2014.[5] The second chapter was released online at Tor.com on January 17, 2014.[6]
