Halo: Burn the Road Home | Cover Reveal | Halo - Official Site (en) - Halo Waypoint

Just a few weeks ago in our final Canon Fodder issue we announced that a new novella by Kenneth Peters, former Senior Franchise Writer at Halo Studios, is in the works titled Halo: Burn the Road Home.

We are tremendously excited to reveal the cover art for the book, created and illustrated internally by Jack Fletcher and Sam Wood.

2560. Over seven years after Covenant forces invaded the planet Criterion, its human survivors are still struggling to rebuild amid mounting resentment toward the Unified Earth Government. When separatists ambush a reconstruction convoy and steal critical equipment, Colonial Administration Authority Marshal Imani Havel uncovers a conspiracy far more dangerous than local rebellion.

With contact from Earth mysteriously silent and Criterion’s defenses stretched thin, Havel’s pursuit leads through abandoned industrial ruins and a vast graveyard of human and Covenant warships orbiting the planet. But as shadowy off-world operatives emerge from the darkness, she realizes the stolen resources are only the beginning—and that an unimaginable threat has already been set in motion.

Outmanned, outgunned, and with no Spartans coming to the rescue, Havel and a battered UNSC assault force must expose the enemy’s true plan before Criterion’s violent past comes crashing down upon its fragile future....

Burn the Road Home is due to release later in 2027.
