*Interestingly, the first section of this book is titled "Reveille" and involves characters emerging from cryo-sleep. The first section from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' is also appropriately titled "Reveille", and also involves someone waking from cryo-sleep. Reveille is a traditional bugle call of the U.S. Military, which is sounded at the start of each day on military installations, to wake up the troops. Also, "Reveille" translates in French, to "Awaken." | *Interestingly, the first section of this book is titled "Reveille" and involves characters emerging from cryo-sleep.

*In ''[[Halo 3]]'', Cortana states several quotes from this book during Cortana moments, all of which are Dr. Halsey's. Such as: "Can I speak with you please? What's your name? It's very nice to meet you. You like games? So do I.", "You have been called upon to serve, you will be trained...and you will become the best we can make you. You will be the Protectors of [[Earth]] and all her Colonies.", and "Could you sacrifice yourself to complete your mission? Could you watch him die?" (In the game, "yourself" and "him" are changed to "me", referring to Cortana) However, this may be because she was malfunctioning, since Cortana was "spawned" (created) from Dr. Halsey's mind. | *In ''[[Halo 3]]'', Cortana states several quotes from this book during Cortana moments, all of which are Dr. Halsey's.

However, the Pelican is only capable of holding fifteen passengers and in ''Halo: The Flood'' it is stated that fifteen is pushing the limit as it is. Despite this inconsistency, the Pelican is stated as taking off normally and moving off at maximum speed, even though it is overcrowded and overloaded, especially since the Spartans each weigh around half a ton. | ||
*During the beginning of the book, the Grunts are said to sound like dogs and their speech could not be translated. Yet in all the ''Halo'' games, with the exception of ''Halo: Reach'', the Grunts speak English and they do not sound like dogs at all. This is because the prelude to the book takes place nearly twenty years before the events of the games, before advanced translation software was invented and utilized by the UNSC armed forces. | *During the beginning of the book, the Grunts are said to sound like dogs and their speech could not be translated.
