Halo 2 Novelisation | Halo 3 Novelisation
Instructions
"Halo – its divine wind will rush through the stars, propelling all who are worthy along the path to salvation."
The year is 2552. For twenty-seven years, an alien collective known only as the Covenant has been hunting the human race. Colony after colony has been annihilated, forcing humanity to recede until a single planet remains mankind's sole hope of survival… Earth.
The Covenant have discovered the human homeworld, but just as all seems lost, an anomaly has occurred that no one could have foreseen. Why have so few of the Covenant arrived at Earth? Why are the aliens keeping so quiet? And what secrets can Earth reveal regarding the ancient religion of our cruellest enemy?
Embark on a Great Journey with the strong and silent super-soldier, John-117; the witty, battle-hardened Avery Johnson and the renowned naval officer, Miranda Keyes as they fight side by side across endless environments, both human and alien, to defeat the Covenant once and for all.
Note: I am currently re-editing Halo Array, but due to circumstances in my life, do not expect to see this refined edition soon. In the meantime, there is an editable version of Halo Array in the Extra Files section of this website. Feel free to make corrections to your own copy. Whilst I am editing Halo Array manually, I’m open to your use of automatic digital tools that might find and correct mistakes for you, provided it is for your own copy and not to be shared publicly online. Mistakes you might choose to rectify include: * Typos – errors in spelling, punctuation, repeated words, missing words, etc. * Redundancies – unwanted tautologies, pleonasms and repetition that might ruin the flow of the text * Over- and undersized paragraphs – long paragraphs that need to be broken into smaller ideas or shorter paragraphs that should be joined * Incorrect sentence structure – order of adjectives (If you wish to be strict, descriptions should follow this order: quantity, opinion, size, shape, age, colour, origin, material, purpose and then the noun) * Abrupt transitions – how one sentence flows to the next – adverbials, connectives, conjunctions, etc. * Contradictions – contradictions and inconsistencies within the plot * Inconsistent narration – inconsistent past-tense narration and accidental shifts, confusing changes in perspective (third-person to first-person) Remember, Halo Array has been written in Australian Standard English. If you choose to use an automatic editing tool, you might need to set this as the proofing language to maintain consistent spelling, grammar and punctuation. Alternatively, you could have the entire text changed into your local dialect if that’s not too much stress on the program.
