Mr Bear,
My name is Shawn Kandelac, and I understand you'll be the author of the next trilogy of Halo novels. Ive known about this for months (though it feels like forever), and I was just wondering if you had an estimate at a release date for the first.
I truly, madly hope that you'll be able to get it out on the market before the end of the first quarter this next year. You see, I love Halo. The games, the books, comics, etc. I eat it all up. I want a movie, but Neill Blomkamp got screwed out of it.
I hope I don't sound bitchy and annoying, I just want some more new Halo data. I crave it like a junky. :)
Thanks Mr. Bear,
ShawN

Thanks, ShawN! I'm about to launch the first book in the next couple of weeks. This is going to be one fascinating journey. Already working with the fine folks at HALO, coming up with fresh ideas and continuity. There will be some updates as work goes on, but no reveals...

Due to Frankie's statement that said the new Halo novel would be wrote by Greg Bear and to "think Eon" I went and read Eon.
I've gotta say it was the best book I've read in a while. I can think of no better author to clear up the mysteries of the forerunners. (Sorry Nylund, it just doesn't seem your style.)
I too am a huge Halo fan, have religiousy played all the games and read ALL the books many times. My tastes of Sci-Fi have been focused on newer IP, but this has gotten me into reading the old school novels such as Asimov, Bear, Heinlen. It has opened up a whole new world for me.
I look forward to the first installment of the forerunner series!

Thanks, Keifer. You might take a look at Eric Nylund's MORTAL COILS--which I very much enjoyed. And if you haven't already, also search out the works of Olaf Stapledon, E. E. Smith, and of course Sir Arthur Clarke for galaxy-spanning vistas which helped shape my own imagination!

Hi mr bear, I know it's been a while since ppl have postedon this thread but I have heard different things about your new halo series. One of which being that the first one is going to be released withing a matter of days. Is this true or are you still writing?

Still writing! The Covenant is spreading nasty rumors. Likely pub date: late this year. Look for our 343 panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where more will be revealed!

Thanks for the date! I've been waiting to hear some news since it was announced last April! Do you have any recommendations for me of your novels that would get me prepped for the release in the fall?

Excuse me but I just saw a post from "Keifer" here from L-Burg, KY. I am from there and currently reside in Lexington. I'd love to meet up with a fellow Halo fan!

I'd suggest EON and THE FORGE OF GOD/ANVIL OF STARS. As well, CITY AT THE END OF TIME has popped up in two major gaming studios here in Seattle as entertainment reading...
On our Halo panel at Comic-Con, I gave a shout-out for some exciting news about EON. More soon...
