The Master Chief returns to fight the Covenant and his new foes, the Prometheans, in his next epic quest. Created in collaboration with developers 343 Industries, Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide celebrates the release of Halo 4, one of the biggest video game releases in recent history.

Featuring detailed, annotated artwork, Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide fleshes out the Halo universe with a vast collection of facts from the first installment of Halo’s epic new “Reclaimer Saga.” Fans of the series will love immersing themselves in the perilous world of Halo 4 with detailed sections about the characters, factions, weapons, vehicles, equipment, armor, ships, and locations.

Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide engrosses readers in the rich lore with in-depth profiles focusing on the roles and significance of the many things which inhabit the vast, mysterious, and dangerous Halo Universe.

At $12.86 from Amazon, that’s a great deal. The MSRP for this is $16.99. So you’re saving a few bucks. Granted shipping may knock that out if you aren’t an Amazon member. Still, good price.

I’d like to thank Cody JR Smith for pointing this out on the HaloCollector facebook page. I knew it was coming, just couldn’t recall when. Nice to know it’s right around the corner!
