Releases

The Halo: Fractures short story Into the Fire is the first half of the novel Halo: Smoke and Shadow. It features no changes between releases except gaining chapters.

Continuity

This series shares narrative connections with the flash fiction short Spirit of Bloody Fire. Cutter. Bloody hell. from the Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide, where an event from the short is expanded upon in Halo: Smoke and Shadow.

The series also contains a narrative link to Halo Wars, as the series' story starts with a character hunting for the ship.

This series also acts as a soft-sequel to Halo: Primordium as Halo: Renegades follows up on 343 Guilty Spark after he captured the UNSC Rubicon.
