* | * If you look at the left side of the cover, you can see a part of a [[Flood]] [[Combat Form]]'s [[Human]] face. This could be Private Wallace Jenkins. | ||
*On page 14, a tremendous hurricane is described to be forming over an ocean in [[Halo]]. This is highly improbable as tropical cyclones consolidate due to the presence of the Coriolis force (objects on Halo would not experience this as the Halo's surface is always perpendicular to its plane of rotation). A possible argument would be that [[Forerunner]] technology had somehow managed to replicate the Coriolis effect. | *On page 14, a tremendous hurricane is described to be forming over an ocean in [[Halo]].

*On page 165, Dietz writes, "''The 102 mm shaped charge exploded against the very center of the [[Hunter]]'s chest armor, blew through his torso, and severed his spine.''" This is odd, considering Hunters are made of [[Lekgolo]] worms and do not have spines. Page 106 also states " ''...plasma blasts burned through multiple layers of armor and exited through his spine.''" In theory it may refer to an artificial spine which Hunters use as a means of vertical support in ''[[Halo 3]]''. To be fair, the book was written before the [[Lekgolo|nature]] of the Hunters was revealed. | *On page 165, Dietz writes, "''The 102 mm shaped charge exploded against the very center of the [[Hunter]]'s chest armor, blew through his torso, and severed his spine.''"

A [[Combat Form]] attacked him with a wrench while an [[Infection Form]] jumped on him and attempted to infect him. He was saved only by Cortana's quick thinking by generating an electric pulse from the suits power source to electrify the [[Infection Form]]. | ||

*Shortly before the Battle of Alpha Base, Wellsley was fighting a simulation of The Battle of Marathon. This is probably a reference to Bungie's [[Marathon (Video Game Series)|earlier series]]. | *Shortly before the Battle of Alpha Base, Wellsley was fighting a simulation of The Battle of Marathon.

*[[Antonio Silva|Major Silva]] refers to John as a freak who was stolen at the age of six and [[SPARTAN-II Augmentation Procedures|mutated]], yet this information was classified and never would have been released to any non-ONI personel. However, as the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] who were killed by [[John-117|a fourteen-year-old boy]] were under Silva's command, it stands to reason that he was informed of the Spartans' origins. | *[[Antonio Silva|Major Silva]] refers to John as a freak who was stolen at the age of six and [[SPARTAN-II Augmentation Procedures|mutated]], yet this information was classified and never would have been released to any non-ONI personel.
