== Trivia ==
 
*On the cover of the novel the artist's signature is showing below a [[Marine]]'s arm behind the [[Master Chief]].
*The original cover of the book had a graphic error on the [[Master Chief]]'s head. The top part of his head was a little to the right of the bottom part, causing a split in his head. This was later corrected in recent versions.
*Chapter 11 is the only chapter that takes place on Earth in this novel, and the first in the series to take place on Earth.
*In the novel an ODST wears a normal marine uniform instead of their regular space suit.
*On page 38, it says that a Longsword has 110mm rotary cannons, but on page 58, it says that "The [[Longsword]]'s landing gear deployed and raised the craft a meter off the floor. "Guns clear," [[Polaski]] announced. "Bye, boys." She brought up a targeting reticle and swept it around the bay. A hail of ''120'' mm rounds tore through the [[Grunts]]' cover.
*Near the end of the book, it says that [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghosts]] are fliers, like [[Banshees]], but this is probably referring to how [[Ghost|Ghosts]] hover above the ground.
*Except for the seventh section, all the sections are numbered using Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.); the seventh section is numbered using Roman numerals: VII.
*After the ''Unyielding Hierophant'' exploded, there were a only 12 Covenant ships left. These ships might have been the ones led by Regret that attacked Earth in the [[First Battle of Earth]]
*The [[Elite]] that [[SPARTAN-117]] fought in ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' was initially presumed to be the [[Arbiter]], until it was realized that it was a [[Special Operations Elite]], and not a [[Supreme Commander]]. Add to that the fact that the Arbiter's own ship was called the ''[[Seeker of Truth]]'', not ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', and it becomes very unlikely that the two are the same character.
*The battle rifle was first used canonically in [[Halo: Contact Harvest]], but is first introduced to the Spartans during Halo: First Strike.
