Halo: The Thursday War ~ COVER REVEALED
[url=http://www.tor.com/images/stories/blogs/12_05/Halo-Thursday-War.jpg]Halo: [i]The Thursday War[/i][/url]
So in it we can see some UNSC ships, the largest I'm guessing is the UNSC [i]Infinity[/i] and the Spartan is... Osman? The planet in the background looks an awful lot like the way Sanghelios is depicted in the Halo 3 Bestiarum.
Hopefully, this will be better than its predecessor. It's known that I had no love for [i]Glasslands[/i], but this time round it sounds like Traviss is sticking to her strengths with military sci-fi.
Musings?

Honestly, I can't stand Glasslands. I could accept the rather foolish idea of ONI's to kill the Elites; I even.... was fine, I suppose, with Osman's character and her band of annoying misfits (every book has to have a person/group to dislike). However, I didn't care for Traviss' portrayal of the previously established characters. Halsey being an incompetent sobbing Sally? Her S-IIs basically giving her to the wolves, with no fight in them [b]whatsoever[/b]? Mendez suddenly acting all high and mighty about the S-IIIs? ONI being the group that takes the [b]moral high ground?[/b] I'm fine with having new authors do stuff for Halo, but I hope that 343i can at least [b]try[/b] to give a damn about Bungie's canon and not -blam!- all over it to make their's look better.
