Halo Literature… coming up

Sometimes, you just luck out. Adam Daniel took it upon himself to learn a bit more about the Halo Guide he discovered earlier – and he came up with more than even he realized. First, he called Prima Games, and learned these facts:

Expected in stores November 11th
Software platform: Xbox
Media rating: Teen
Media grade: AA
ISBN: 0761537449
144 pages

(Neither Adam nor the Prima representative he spoke with have any idea what that ‘Media grade’ means.) Then he followed up this call with a search of Random House’s website… and discovered that it’s a paperback. (Not really suprising, given the content.) What he seems to have missed, but which jumped out at me when I hit that search link, was the OTHER Halo-related title at Random House: ‘Halo: The Fall of Reach‘, to be available in both eBook and Del Rey paperback format by October 2001. A full-length Halo Fan Fiction, published by Random House, out before the game is? WOW! Kudos to Adam for uncovering all this – both the details of the Strategy Guide, and the existence of the novel!
