Author Quotes/Information

"We get to fill the story for Master Chief in between Halo 2 and 3. We get Master Chief from the end of that story to the beginning of the new one."
"...new characters down on Earth that will allow a fresh perspective on the human level to the near holocaust that is taking place on Earth."
"...can enjoy what they are reading without needing anything else but the book in their hand."
"...honor the die hard fans with references and nods to the games and novels."
"...you will see plenty of Master Chief in every issue."
"The (American) city is an important key city to the war on Earth."
Q:"How much of this civil war plays into your Covenant-based plot?"

A:"Not too much. It is referenced but it's not really the focus of the story."

Q:"Will the Flood and/or Gravemind be involved? Will Cortana?"

A:"I can't say much about the Flood for now, but Cortana and the Master Chief were separated at the end of Halo 2, and our story is with him - so no Cortana."

"Cliffhangers galore from issue to issue. But the story itself should have some resolution and a lot of hope for the future Halo stories."
