Last night, over at HaloWaypoint.com, Jeff Easterling of 343 Industries (who I finally actually met this week!) revealed some details about my upcoming novel, Halo: Bad Blood in his latest update. They revealed the cover art a while back, but now we have the full cover treatment, with logos, text, and all.
In addition to that, we now have the description slated to appear on the book’s back cover. It reads:
Just hours following their climactic battle on the Forerunner planet Genesis, the Spartans of Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris find themselves running for their lives from the malevolent machinations of the now-renegade artificial intelligence Cortana. But even as they attempt to stay one step ahead, trouble seems to find Spartan Edward Buck no matter where he turns.
A secret mission enacted by the Office of Naval Intelligence could possibly help turn the tide, and has Buck reluctantly agreeing to reform his old team, Alpha-Nine. Because if the band is really getting back together for this one, that means everybody–including the Spartan who Buck never wants to see again, the one who committed the ultimate betrayal of trust….
Interpret all that as you will…
I’m just putting the final touches on the book right now, and I’m pretty thrilled with it. It’s slated to debut on June 26, so get ready. That’s coming up fast!
