Trivia

 * The novel's cover is illustrated by artist Christian McGrath, who has done book covers for many New York Times Best selling authors.
 * Steve Downes read an excerpt from Silent Storm ' s first chapter to promote the book.
 * Several details and characters in the novel, originally planned to be included by Troy Denning, were changed at 343 Industries' request. For one, Denning originally planned to include twenty Spartan-IIs, but was told by 343 Industries to reduce their number, resulting in a squad of twelve Spartans in the final novel. Likewise, General Harper Garvin's role was originally to be filled by Howard Graves, originally featured in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. Finally, Denning's early drafts envisioned Castor's Jiralhanae companion as Atriox rather than Orsun, as Halo: Retribution had suggested the two had served together in the Bloodstars during the war.
