There are few video game universes as well described and thoroughly explored as Halo, and now 343 Industries and Simon & Schuster have announced there is even more where that came from. In September, Halo: Fractures will be launched, a collection of Halo novels with stories from many writers that will be sold both as an e-book but also as print.
Below is the description of Halo: Fractures that will be printed on the back of the book as well as the contributing writers and a picture of the cover. If you want even more in-depth knowledge - head over to Halo Waypoint.
"Launch once more into galaxy-spanning conflict and legendary heroism...shards of an ever-expanding journey where human and alien alike find their finest hours in facing their greatest challenges. These scattered stories span untold millennia, from the age of the ancient custodial race known as the Forerunners...to the aftermath of the Covenant's bloody war against humanity...and even the shocking events surrounding the resurrection of the mysterious Guardians. Halo: Fractures explores mythic tales of bravery and sacrifice that blaze brightly at the very heart of the Halo universe."
