EDGE OF DAWN: UPDATE
And that’s not the only book news we have today!
Back in January, we revealed three things:
- Kelly Gay is writing a new Halo novel.
- It is titled Halo: Edge of Dawn.
- It will be a Master Chief story.
You’ve waited and wondered about when the novel will be set in the timeline and what the story could possibly be, and the time has come to now lift the lid on what’s been cooking.
“2560. After eliminating War Chief Escharum and sending the Banished leadership into chaos, the Master Chief continues the fight on Zeta Halo, accompanied by his new AI companion and their loyal pilot Fernando Esparza.
As Spartan-117 searches for scattered allied forces, a young combat medic—tortured and imprisoned for months by the Banished and the enigmatic Harbinger—may hold the key to unlocking deeper mysteries within this ancient ringworld. But every step towards answers is haunted by the sinister and elusive blademaster Jega ‘Rdomnai, who is hellbent on vengeance....”
This is indeed a story set in the immediate aftermath of Halo Infinite’s campaign, tying in with some story threads from The Rubicon Protocol—one of Kelly’s previous novels.
In some ways, Edge of Dawn might be thought of as similar to First Strike, where we sat for a while with the immediate fallout of the events that transpired in Halo: CE, dealing with some of the things we learned while embarking on a new adventure.
