Halo: Divine Wind

Arbitrary Weapon Range: Tanks without a side gunner are unable to shoot an opponent boarding them without hurting themselves. What is wrong is for you to think that you can bait me with such nonsense. Feodruz turned his glower forward again, where the plasma blossom continued to grow rounder without becoming larger. I know what I see. We are a long way from that strike." CIA391: I loved seeing the Ferrets get a major focus again, I know a lotta fans (and you lot know you are, I am one of them also) wanted more from the rowdy Gamma Spartans and their “mom” Veta Lopis. After the Ferrets appeared in “Halo: Shadows of Reach”, I almost expected the Ferrets to become characters that pop up in fun ways in other media like how a lot of the Star Wars Legends Expanded Universe treated characters like Kyle Katarn at times. But I am very glad I was wrong there, as I said above I wanted to see more of the Ferrets and this pulled me in and took me for a ride.

I wish that were so. ‘Gadogai turned his gaze forward again. "But here in slipspace, there is no time." Halo: Primordium (2012): Told by the prehistoric human Chakas about his adventures on the seventh Halo ring.

Dab1001: Halo: Silent Storm remains probably my favourite Halo novel of all time, and Troy Denning is undoubtedly one of my favourite Halo authors. Thus, I was absolutely looking forward to Divine Wind, and I would say it delivered - to be honest, I’m not sure if it would be possible for Denning to write a bad novel even if he tried. Divine Wind is broadly speaking a character-driven story, juggling the perspectives of half a dozen characters, each with their own personalities and agendas, in that way that Denning does so well. It maintains that devotion to blending large-scale worldbuilding with an attention to fine-grained detail and respect for plausible realism (Forerunners and slipspace aside) that, for me, uniquely characterises Denning’s Halo work. What’s more, it kept me guessing as to the motivations of certain characters right up until the end, which is something I can rarely say for Halo novels. A thoroughly enjoyable read, all around. Toward the Control Room Access Balcony at the Ark, Inslaan contemplated his chances against the unarmored yet adrenaline-surged Ash-G099 and Olivia-G291, with a fairness towards his odds of survival - even when armed with just a hard-light glaive and the Ferrets trained on his vulnerable body with their MA40 assault rifles.

CIA391: One word “Wow”. I legitimately was not expecting Mark to outright die. A few weeks prior to reading the book I said this line to the Halopedia staff “By armor alone Mark is my fav.” and that made that moment hit harder for me. And made it even more sad was, Mark fought to the end and didn't make a dent while his killer Dhas Bhasvod went for the kill. Dab1001: Not after Halo: Shadows of Reach, no. Another story following the Ferrets seemed inevitable after the setup presented in that book, and so it was no surprise to me when one was announced earlier this year. Before reading Shadows of Reach, though, I had feared they might slip into obscurity like so many other characters from older Halo novels (remember Ignatio Delgado? Admit it, you don’t - I didn’t either). I’m glad to be proven wrong, though, with both the Ferrets and Keepers returning for another story in Divine Wind. Because our Lich is inside a quantum bubble, Krelis said. "The hours you have been counting since departing Reach exist only inside this place. Outside, there is no time, because there is no space."Reach was Bungie's last Halo project, with all subsequent works in the franchise managed by Xbox Game Studios subsidiary 343 Industries. There are also several novels and various other media that make up the Expanded Universe. Astronavigation was difficult for the uninitiated to understand—it required an observer to embrace an apparent contradiction: that vast distances could be crossed without actually traveling vast distances. Humans enjoyed explaining the paradox by speaking of curved space and gravity wells and shortcuts through nonspatial dimensions. That was obedience, not a mistake. Feodruz feared you would kill the dokab before our bullets killed you. He was wrong, but a Keeper submits."
