==Trivia== | |||
Nearly every author who was asked to provide stories for the anthology accepted the offer. Among those who declined was [[Greg Bear]]; Bear was interested in the project, though he wished to write a full-length novel rather than a short story.<ref name="O'Connor"/> A few months later, Eric Raab, 343 Industries' contact within Tor Books, suggested that Bear be hired as the author of the planned [[The Forerunner Saga|''Forerunner Saga'']]. When Frank O'Connor approached Bear about writing the series, the latter gladly accepted the offer.<ref>'''Halo Waypoint''', ''Greg Bear Talks Halo Cryptum, Part 1''</ref> | |||
