Tor Books, in partnership with Microsoft Game Studios Bungie, today announced the mass market release of Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.
The first in a three novel series from Tor, Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, was written by Eric Nylund. Nylund authored two of the previous Halo® novels, Halo: The Fall of Reach and Halo: First Strike .
Halo: Ghosts of Onyx takes readers deep into crucial events that unfold during the Halo and Halo 2 timelines, expanding the characters and story of the Halo Universe as fans eagerly await the arrival of Halo 3 later this year.

At least two more novels will follow over the next few years, each exploring the game's rich universe, characters and mythos.
Halo: Ghosts of Onyx by Eric Nylund is now available in paperback for $7.95.
The Spartan-II program has gone public. Tales of super-soldiers fending off thousands of Covenant attacks has become the stuff of legend. But just how many Spartans are left?

But this reawakened and ancient force may have plans of its own…
