			:What I found the most surprising is that there's a new book coming this fall and they there's no word on the title or even the author yet. Suppose we can expect to see some info soon. Staten is definitely a possibility now that he's back with MS, and he's one of the few people who would make me relieved about the future. ''ODST'' squad novel anyone? That said, I'm still holding on to the hope of Nylund returning - while Staten is a close second as far as "modern-era" ''Halo'' fiction goes, I still have to say I ''personally'' prefer Nylund's more techy and space-operatic storytelling. And given how there has been a more or less consistent upward climb in the quality of Nylund's work so far, it would be a delight to see him pen a full-blown novel now. Still, I'll be very happy indeed if it turns out to be Joe. Buckell would be a foolproof enough choice, although to me his work has been mostly average quality. The worst-case scenario would be someone like Dietz (''The Flood'' didn't trample on much background lore because there was very little of that to begin with at the time, but if his fiasco of a ''Mass Effect'' book is any indication he's absolute rubbish with properly fleshed-out universes). Or if they contracted Traviss for more books (borderline PR suicide for 343i). --[[User:Jugus\|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus\|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] \| [[Special:Contributions/Jugus\|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:51, 5 February 2014 (EST)
