Forums: Index → General Discussion → Waypoint Announces New Publishing Deal

343 Industries has announced a new publishing deal with Gallery Books for future Halo media. The first publication is scheduled for release in Fall 2014. Personally, I'm hoping this will be the beginning of a turn-around for the Halo novels after getting that sour impression from the Kilo-Five 'Travissty'. So what is everyone's thoughts about this new publishing deal? Do you love it? Hate it? Not sure?--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 12:42, 4 February 2014 (EST)

I've never really understood what effect the publishers had on the content of the books. I don't much care about the format - I love the little Orbit pocket novels as much as the big Tor ones. My only hope is that they get some really good authors - Tobias Buckell was okay, and Greg Bear was great even though it took a lot of getting used to a first person narrative. And, if Eric Nylund is working freelance, I would love to see where he would take Blue Team now that Traviss wasted the potential story of them in Onyx. -- Qura 'Morhek ^{The Autocrat of Morheka} 16:39, 4 February 2014 (EST)

Maybe this is what Staten has returned for. He's already written Contact Harvest. And 343 only said he wasn't working on the next Halo game; they never said anything about books... Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 17:23, 4 February 2014 (EST)
