===Original release=== | |||
Bungie considered canceling the book to allow players to see the Master Chief as a blank slate, and because of concerns that the book would not sell enough units to be worth the effort. Nylund's editor, [[Eric S. Trautmann]] convinced Bungie to approve the book, and it carried a dedication to him until it was reissued in 2010 by a different publisher.<ref>[http://scifishow.libsyn.com/005-dc-reboot-trautmann-interview-round-2-of-our-quiz '''The Sci Fi Show''': ''Episode 005: DC Reboot/Eric Trautmann'']</ref><ref>[http://ericnylund.com/?p=1256 '''Eric Nylund''': ''Unsung Hero of the HALO Franchise'']</ref> | |||
===Re-releases=== | |||
*[[Gabriel Garza]] created the cover art used for the 2010 edition of the novel. It has been reused for every edition since, barring the unique 2012 Polish edition. | |||
*The original release cover art for ''The Fall of Reach'' was later echoed with the [[2020]] release of ''[[Halo: Shadows of Reach]]''. | |||

*The first section of this book is titled "Reveille" and involves characters emerging from cryo-sleep. The first section from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' is also appropriately titled "Reveille", and also involves someone waking from cryo-sleep. Reveille is a traditional bugle call of the U.S. Military, which is sounded at the start of each day on military installations, to wake up the troops. "Reveille" is French for "to awaken." | *The first section of this book is titled "Reveille" and involves characters emerging from cryo-sleep.

*In ''[[Halo 3]]'', Cortana states several of Dr. Halsey's quotes from this book during Cortana moments, such as: "Can I speak with you please? What's your name? It's very nice to meet you. You like games? So do I.", "You have been called upon to serve, you will be trained...and you will become the best we can make you. You will be the Protectors of Earth and all her Colonies.", and "Could you sacrifice yourself to complete your mission? Could you watch him die?" In the game, "yourself" and "him" are changed to "me", referring to Cortana. This may be because Cortana was [[Rampancy|going rampant]]; as she was created from Dr. Halsey's mind, she would view herself as Halsey when reviewing the memories. | *In ''[[Halo 3]]'', Cortana states several of Dr. Halsey's quotes from this book during Cortana moments, such as: "Can I speak with you please?
