Greg,
As a longtime fan of your work and science fiction in general, and as a HUGE fan of the Halo games, I am extremely excited for your upcoming trilogy of Halo novels detailing the forerunner civilizations and conflicts. I can't think of a better author to spill the details on an ancient race of interstellar geniuses, who ended their own existence for the lives of others.
Is there any information at all that you can give us on these books other than the "2010" release date? Any particular month or season that you are shooting for? I'm sure it will detail The Mantle, but will the books include known characters like Didact, The Librarian, Mendicant Bias, or even the more recognized Gravemind that gamers have come to know through the video games?
Good luck on this endeavor and I can say that I will be preordering and picking up this book the day it comes out.

My lips are sealed! I'm finishing a novel now, and will embark on the first book in the trilogy within the next couple of weeks. 2010 might be a bit optimistic for the appearance of the first volume...

Greg,
As a long time fan and father of two video game loving teens who do not like SF PLEASE work your magic with the Halo series and capture the imagination of the video game loving non reading youth. No pressure but you could actually turn millions of teens and young adults into SF reading fiends.
I got hooked as a 6th grader after reading Wells' The Time Machine. I was in college when I began devouring your work while in college. My oldest son read OSC's Enders Game after he lost a bet-it was kind of like punishment. Even though I was sure it would spark interest it did not.
The power is in your hands. Help us Greg Bear, you are our only hope.

Working away, Michael! (and HALO REACH looks fabulous, just in case you're teetering on the edge of becoming an XBox dude...)
