Halo: Retribution is a novel by Troy Denning.[2] Having first appeared on Amazon's website,[1] Retribution was officially announced on June 23, 2017, and was released on August 29, 2017. Set in late 2553, the novel follows up on Denning's Halo: Fractures short story A Necessary Truth, although many of the central characters from the preceding novel Halo: Last Light also make a return.[3]

Trivia
- The novel's cover is illustrated by artist Benjamin Carré, who also provided artwork for Halo Mythos.
- Retribution's official summary describes the Human-Covenant War as "thirty years of 'intergalactic' conflict". This is an incorrect usage of the term, as the war was never fought in more than one galaxy; a more appropriate word would have been "interstellar", which is defined as occurring between stars. The Battle of Installation 00 was the only battle of the war to be fought outside the galaxy, though not in another galaxy altogether, and the wording in the summary regardless implies the war was waged on an intergalactic scale consistently for its thirty-year duration.
