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.
 * There is a mistake in Chapter 21 where the Age of Reclamation had "First Annual, Second Month". This was Troy Dennings interpretation on how the calendar worked, but he was asked to remove them all, and that case was missed.
