Halo: Cryptum, A Forerunner Novel Launches In January

Halo: Cryptum is the first in a series of novels following the Forerunners in the Halo world. The novel is being written by Greg Bear and is set for release in January of 2011.

Bear’s trilogy is the first to explore the inner workings of the Forerunners, the species who is responsible for the old technology – including the Halos themselves – in the Halo series. An audio version of the book will arrive during the same time as the novel release, so it is something to listen to while you’re pwning noobs on Reach.
