Trivia

• The novel's cover is illustrated by artist Benjamin Carré, who also provided artwork for Halo Mythos.
• Retribution's official summary describes the Human-Covenant War as "intergalactic". This is an incorrect usage of the term, as the war was never fought in more than one galaxy; a more appropriate word would have been "interstellar", which is defined as occurring between stars. However, it can also be argued that due to the extragalactic nature of the Battle of Installation 00 that the technical category fits.
