| Re: Greg Bear writing halo novels about Forerunner | |

In Response To: Re: Greg Bear writing halo novels about Forerunner (LoneRanger 2.5) : No offense meant to Greg Bear or the book he's writing, but I would honestly : prefer to not know a whole lot. I thought the Terminals did a perfect job : of letting us know just enough to be fascinating, but not so much that : the Forerunners would be suddenly demystified. Agreed. I don't want to be put in a position where I know more about the Haloverse than any of the characters we have seen while playing as MC/Arby or reading the books ever possibly could. If this is from the 26th century perspective OF the forerunners, in the vein of discovering artifacts and reading terminals, etc. I'm all for it. But if this is set 100,000 years ago and has named forerunner characters and perspectives, I'll be very disappointed. Honestly, just a frame story of an excavation team discovering terminals and then having the book cut to the perspective of the forerunners described in those terminals would be passable to me. But I think telling us more than anyone in the Haloverse knows is almost breaking the fourth wall.
