Halo: Glasslands is the first novel in the yet-untitled post-war series by Karen Traviss.[1] It is to be released on October 25, 2011 on hardcover, paperback and as an audiobook.[2]
Plot
Set in 2553,[3] Halo: Glasslands will continue the story of Halo: Ghosts of Onyx in the wake of the events of Halo 3 and explore the Halo universe following the end of the Human-Covenant War.[1] Though the story of the characters from Ghosts of Onyx will be continued in the novel and they will play a pivotal role,[4][5] Frank O'Connor mentioned that the focus of the story moves into "something really different".[6] In addition, Karen Traviss clarified that the main focus of the book is not on Spartans, and that Orbital Drop Shock Troopers will play a major role in the story. It has also been mentioned that the Office of Naval Intelligence will be fleshed out and the moral implications of the SPARTAN-II Program and those involved with it - including Dr. Catherine Halsey - will be explored, and that a "rehabilitated" SPARTAN-II candidate, previously thought to have been washed out, will appear.[3]
Trivia
- The cover of the novel was illustrated by former Bungie concept artist Eddie Smith.[7]
