Book sounds great, can't wait to see Buck in H5 outside of multiplayer as well.

He's an SIV voice in multiplayer already. I'm almost entirely positive they're not going to flesh out his character in a book only to have it not pay off in a game... which he's already in.

90% confirmed

So he becomes a Spartan, then sometime in the future a civil war breaks out among humanity, so Buck casts off his armor to join the browncoats of the Independence, ultimately losing the war and living out his live under the pseudonym Malcolm in the fringes of human territory while captaining a crew of outlaws?

This makes me worry that there will be no more ODSTs in Halo 5 because they're considered obsolete. Lets just make everyone a Spartan IV.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
I've only read fall of reach. I liked it.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

Remember how Lasky had an entire short live-action series giving him backstory prior to his crucial and large role in Halo 4's story?

So... I guess I'm going to have to pick up after your horrendous mistakes on here too?
The fact that he may actually be a spartan seems interesting.

If it has absolutely no connection to that atrocious forerunner storyline they have going I might pick it up.

It's focused on the postwar period immediately after the events of Halo 3, same time frame as Initiation and the Kilo-5 Trilogy, a few years before John, the Ur-Didact and Prometheans came back into the fray.
