Tor Books and 343 announce Halo: Mortal Dictata by Karen Traviss, coming January 2014.

More info to likely follow at San Diego Comicon.

Is that girl on the cover Naomi? Hmm, mysterious. “Mortal Dictata” is already canon in the Halo universe:

The UN Colonial Mortal Dictata is a human piece of legislation or code of ethics which was in effect as of 2549. The precise contents of the Dictata are unknown, however it is known to prohibit the flash cloning (or perhaps cloning in general) of full human beings. Dr. Catherine Halsey is known to have violated the code on numerous occasions, most notably when cloning herself in order to create Cortana.

I’d like to thank Tom from Dust and Echoes podcast for giving the heads up on this.
