What Quirel said.

In Response To: Re: My heart just broke... (Quirel)

: You mean Venezia, Jul 'Mdamee, and Kilo 5? It's alright. Pretty good in a few
: places.

Meh...Why create a new squad of completely un-relatable and forgettable ODSTs when the amazing Buck and crew are there?

: The resolution to the Onyx Dyson Sphere, set up four years prior by Nylund?
: One of the biggest cliffhangers in Halo?
: Anti. Frickin'. Climatic.

Onyx turned out to be a forerunner parking garage with Engineer Valets....whoopdie fucking do.

: No, but her books made it impossible for him to continue from where he left
: off... if 343i ever got him back.

If only Bungie were in charge, they aint afraid to retcon.

Seriously though... Nylund was the one guy who could express Halo in a way that everyone could appreciate from the ultra-hardcore to the new folks who are just starting with the series.

343 has yet to find anyone with that level of talent and it is a shame that his abilities have been squandered the way they have the past 7 years since he finished Ghosts of Onyx. I doubt there will ever be another "Perfect" Halo novel again. We may get some good ones or even great ones (Silentium) but never another perfect Nylund Halo.

Kind of depressing.
