Also, now that a plot summary is up, I have to say...what changes? I don't mean with the characters, because I'm sure that part is done well. But I mean with the status quo between Earth, Venezia, and the former Covenant. The first K5 book set up the Covenant's resurgence, and Thursday War continued that and set up Jul 'Mdama to take it over. And we got our glimpse of Venezia, with hints that it could change the balance of power. But by the end, from everything I've read, things end up exactly in the same state, frozen. Does the Venezia threat get neutralised, set up as a point of contention between humanity and Covenant, or stirred up like a kicked hornets nest? Maybe this is just something that was lost in translation from novel to summary. Or maybe I just need to read it again. -- [[User:Morhek|Qura 'Morhek]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|The Autocrat]] [[User talk:Specops306|of Morheka]] 03:21, 27 January 2014 (EST)

:It's implied that Staffan Sentzke is happy enough with the closure he got and will leave Earth alone. That's just him, though. But since he was a quite major player in the rebel scene on Venezia, he could have some influence on the colony's foreign policy. That is assuming he isn't faking the whole thing, of course, and planning to resume his murder-crusade at the first opportunity (unlikely, given the resolution to his arc). On the Sangheili side of things, there's nothing on Jul 'Mdama and his Covenant, and barely anything on the Abiding Truth, other than that Jul's son has become 'Telcam's apprentice. Any action in the Sangheili insurrection seems pretty low-key. On the whole, it doesn't seem like the status quo has changed much during the three months of this trilogy. No one died, Kilo-Five hasn't split up, though some of the chapter heading quotes suggest that Phillips becomes a (part-time?) lecturer for aspiring Section II personnel. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|Contribs]]) 04:24, 27 January 2014 (EST)
