[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] flamedude Bungie have acknowledged Enders Game and Ringworld as major influences on the Halo story. And why not, they are awesome. I'm really hoping that Halo: Reach will have an Enders Shadow feel to it, showing a new side to the Spartan story.[/quote]Was that really good? I've only read "Ender's Game", "Speaker for the Dead", "Xenophobia", and "Children of the Mind". I stopped after them cause I got too tired of the same universe.
