Bungie‘s new publishing partner, Tor, will release the latest novel in November 2006. Continuing and expanding the scenarios and characters created by Mr. Nylund, and expanding the Halo universe a little bit more.

“Halo has established itself as one of the finest science fiction universes to emerge from the video game industry,” says Tor editor Eric Raab. “The first three novels merely scratched the surface. The storyline that the folks at Bungie have created is phenomenal, and its characters are begging to be explored further in novels.”

The announcement of the new novel also heralds the fact that (at least) two other Halo novels will be published by Tor, and those will have some very exciting news attached to them. But up first in the next one or two weeks is the unveiling of this books coverart.
