Of course, Reach is the location best known to players from the title, Halo: Reach. In that particular game, Noble Team is an elite Spartan group tasked with protecting the planet from the invading forces of The Covenant. As the main military base for the United Nations Space Command, Reach was an important tactical location that Noble Team died trying to protect. Given that a major part of the game tasked players with protecting a fragment of Cortana, it makes a lot of sense that Shadows of Reach will bring the narrative back to that particular planet.
Troy Denning has been associated with the Halo franchise for quite some time. Shadows of Reach is the fifth novel Denning has written in the Halo universe, following last year’s Halo: Oblivion. This is the first book in the series to take place after Halo 5, however. As such, it definitely seems like the kind of book that will appeal to a bigger number of Halo fans, particularly in the ramp-up to Halo Infinite.
Halo: Shadows of Reach, penned by Troy Denning, will see the Master Chief and Blue Team head back to where it all began. Get more info on the upcoming novel, as well as new video recaps, community callouts, and more in the latest Canon Fodder! https://t.co/jVeihzyGDm pic.twitter.com/feCE7YePht
