Now I know most of you have probably vowed to never touch anything made by 343i again. But please give this novel a chance. The others coming out this year you can burn for all I care but give this one a chance.
It's being wrritten by Joesph Staten who wrote the story for Halo 1 and 2 along with ODST and had a hand in Halo 3s story. He also wrote Contact Harvest for fans of that book. I think this novel will actually be at least decent and keep to the lore as long as 343 isn't an asshole and intervenes and force him to write certain things a certain way.
