Production notes

 * Troy Denning began work on Halo: Shadows of Reach in 2019, and, before its delay, ended up having 130,000 words. In the first draft of the novel in the first chapter, Troy Denning had Kelly-087 listening to the song Killer Queen, however it was removed before he sent in the draft due to copyright infringement fears.
 * The cover art was illustrated by Chris McGrath, who also illustrated the earlier cover of Halo: Silent Storm. The composition of the artwork echoes the original release cover art of Halo: The Fall of Reach.
