ISSUE 23<\/h4>\n

Welcome back, fiction fans. Last week,\u00a0we talked about the community\u2019s heroic effort to assemble the newest official key art for Halo 5: Guardians<\/em> and provided some clarifying calm to a Covenant storm. This week we\u2019ve got a special treat that should prove a marvelous morsel to our novel-gazing lore buffs. Plus we\u2019ll have another look at #HUNTtheTRUTH as well as new Universe entries to take a gander at. Read on!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

LAST LIGHT<\/h2>\n

\"canonfodder-5-7-15-6dc144ad62094d4fad0a894e6c4d0840\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In partnership with our fantastic friends at Simon & Schuster, we\u2019re proud to reveal both the cover art and the book description for Halo: Last Light<\/em>, a new novel by New York Time Bestselling author Troy Denning. Want to see the bigger picture from cover \u00a0artist Kory Hubbell? Just click the image. Oh, and you might want to be ready to wish your current desktop a fond farewell. So what adventure awaits you beyond its curious cover? Glad you asked\u2026<\/p>\n

It is 2553, and the three-decade long Covenant War that defined a generation has suddenly drawn to a close. Yet, in the remotest parts of human space, tensions remain that threaten to overflow into another full-scale conflict. Beneath the surface of the planet Gao lies a vast cavern system renowned for its therapeutic effects and rumored miraculous cures. But now Gao natives are turning up brutally murdered down there \u2013 violent acts that happen to coincide with the recent arrival of a UNSC research battalion protected by Spartan Blue Team, led by the renowned Spartan-II Fred-104.<\/em><\/p>\n

Maverick detective Veta Lopis of the Gao Ministry of Protection is only trying to do her job as the Special Inspector assigned to catch a serial killer \u2013 one who is possibly hiding within the Spartan ranks \u2013 but she never anticipates the situation spiraling out of control into an all-out crisis. When Gao is revealed to harbor ancient Forerunner technology that could solidify the UNSC\u2019s military supremacy for centuries to come, Insurrection loyalists within the planetary government will do anything \u2013 even align with a vicious faction of what remains of the Covenant \u2013 to ensure that never happens\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n

For those of you who are having trouble combining \u201cHalo\u201d with ideas like \u201cmurder mystery\u201d, trust me, some pretty cool surprises await you in the depths of Gao. Whether they be surrounding the mysteries of the planet itself, or the brutality of an Insurrection faction with unlikely allies, Halo fiction fans will get to see Blue Team in a brand new light. Halo: Last Light<\/em> is slated for release on September 7, 2015<\/strong>. You won\u2019t want to miss it.<\/p>\n

HFFL:<\/strong> I can’t wait. I always enjoy reading Halo stories. That cover art is fantastic!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

#HUNTtheTRUTH<\/h2>\n

If you look up the phrase \u201cIn over your head\u201d in the dictionary, and don\u2019t see a picture of Ben Giraud, then something is wrong with the world. Then again, the same might be true if you haven\u2019t been following the exploits of our 26th<\/sup> century war journalist and main protagonist of the #HUNTtheTRUTH campaign. This time, it isn\u2019t just the Office of Naval Intelligence Ben has bearing down on him\u2026 it\u2019s his own friends and colleagues. I guess that\u2019s what happens when you take your findings on what could be one of the biggest conspiracy of your time, and release them to the galactic public. You know, another day at the office. In one of the most tension-packed episodes yet, Ben begins to realize that he\u2019s got far more people to answer to than he ever thought possible. Catch #HUNTtheTRUTH on tumblr, Halo Channel, and iTunes.<\/p>\n

Also, if earning a cozy little place in the Halo fiction\u00a0seems like it might be kind of a cool thing, you might want to check out the currently parallel-running \u201cHunt the Signal\u201d contest. Lots of details can be learned here in a cleverly curated community thread<\/a> on our very own Halo Waypoint forums.\u00a0If you think you’ve got what it takes, join the hunt at HuntTheSignal.com<\/a>!<\/p>\n

HFFL:<\/strong> I’ve set up a team for this. We’ll see how far we can get. I do know we’re a bit behind the leaders ATM.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy hunting!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

And with that, we sign off for another spell. Thanks so much for joining us, everyone. Also, we hope you all are excited to see more of Halo 5: Guardians<\/em> at E3, as we\u2019re certainly excited to show it to you.Until next week\u2026Live well, play Halo, and don\u2019t ever, ever<\/em> record Petra Janecek when she\u2019s unaware you\u2019re doing so.<\/p>\n
