From The Author's Website
Halo: The Cole Protocol will be the sixth novel set in the Halo Universe. Tobias S. Buckell, author of Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin will pen the novel.
Bungie expatriate and Microsoft’s Franchise Development Director Frank O'Connor had this to say on the upcoming book, which is slated for a Fall 2008 release:
- "Buckell continues an excellent tradition that’s now a solid aspect of the Halo novels, bringing a fresh new perspective to a limitless universe and bringing his prodigious writing talents to bear in ways that will surprise and engage fans of the series and newcomers alike."
- —Frank O'Connor.
Notes
- Gray Team is the designation for a mysterious team of three SPARTAN-IIs that are said to be "on battlefields too distant to be easily recalled". Therefore, they are still wearing the MJOLNIR Mk.IV Powered Assault Armor, instead of the new Mk.V and VI models.
- Considering that Gray Team was reported missing for "well over a year" in 2552, the plot might take place in the year 2551 or 2550.
