"HALO ODST Book Coming in March! " Topic

"At one time, HALO books were some of the finest works in new military science fiction literature. Seriously. HALO: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund was one hell of a novel…HALO or not. However, that is not the case today. The Forerunner trilogy was boring and suffered from not related to the central HALO stories that we fans cared about…The Thursday War was just okay. News breaking today may change that. It seems that for the next HALO entry into the world of literature will be centered around Orbital Shocktrooper Buck from the 2009 game. Gunnery Sgt Edward Buck, as we all remember, was voiced by uber-cool Nathan Fillion and modeled somewhat after Mr. Fillion's Firefly character of Captain Malcolm Reynolds. HALO: New Blood is being penned by Matt Forbeck..,."

HALO books were "the finest works in new military science fiction?" I think not. Drake's Leary novels, Ringo's Looking Glass books, Webber's collaborations in the Honorverse are some examples of books that were significantly better than even the best of the HALO stories. And there are plenty more out there that are at least as good.

At least IM(not so)HO.

That being said, it would be neat to read about folks that aren't genetically engineered super soldiers in the HALO universe without the angstiness of Karen's works.
