The Kilo-Five Trilogy is a multi-book deal between Tor Books and bestselling writer Karen Traviss taking place within the Halo universe.[1] The new series written by Traviss will flesh out the events of the post-war era following Halo 3, the final game in the "original" trilogy, and tie directly into the story of the Reclaimer Trilogy and its first installment, Halo 4.[2][3] The first novel, titled Halo: Glasslands, was released on October 25, 2011.[4] The second novel, titled Halo: The Thursday War, was released on October 2, 2012.[5]
Synopsis
In addition to directly continuing the story of the 2006 novel Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, the series introduces new characters and storylines, centering around the eponymous Office of Naval Intelligence black operations team Kilo-Five.[6][7]
Glasslands
- Main article: Halo: Glasslands
Released October 25, 2011,[4] Glasslands explores the volatile political situation in the Halo universe following the end of the Human-Covenant war. Picking up where Halo: Ghosts of Onyx left off, Dr. Halsey, Chief Mendez, and a group of SPARTAN-IIs and SPARTAN-IIIs look for a means of escape out of a Forerunner shield world locked in a slipspace bubble in the remnants of the artificial planet Onyx. Meanwhile, Office of Naval Intelligence Director Admiral Margaret Parangosky assembles a black ops team known as Kilo-Five, which is assigned on a covert mission to sow discord between disparate Sangheili factions by any means necessary, as well as to arrest Dr. Halsey once she has been located. At the same time, a Sangheili group known as the Servants of Abiding Truth push for an insurrection against Thel 'Vadam and his forces, whom they consider to be blasphemous.
The Thursday War
- Main article: Halo: The Thursday War
Halo: The Thursday War is a direct follow-up to Glasslands. The book was released on October 2, 2012.[5] Recovering from an attack by the Jiralhanae, Evan Phillips looks for a way to escape his entrapment as Avu Med 'Telcam gears up for an attack against the Arbiter. Kilo-Five must return to Sanghelios to retrieve their fallen comrade before he is lost in the fray, temporarily abandoning another growing priority named Venezia. Meanwhile Jul 'Mdama looks for a way to escape his confinement inside the enormous shield world and soon learns of an ancient entity that once held a hatred for humanity. All while this is taking place, the Template:UNSCship is set on a course to undergo its first space trails thanks to newly incorporated Forerunner technology.
