The Halo Conundrum

FRONTBURNR: Last year at PAX East we attended an event that left us with a gift bag that contained several different things related to all sorts of different video games. One of the things in this bag was a copy of Halo: Cryptum, a book in The Forerunner Saga series of Halo novels. Out of curiosity one day I began flipping through and reading this continuation of Halo’s story as it was adapted from popular video game series to novel series with a fairly fervent following. Was it because I liked Halo and had an interest in where the story started or needed more lore? No, not even a little bit. I’m familiar with the franchise via the multiple Halo installments, but past that I’ve never ventured out to find the continuing story. I simply read some of this book because it happened to be in my possession.
