Jeremy Patenaude

Jeremy Patenaude is a writer associated with the Halo video-game franchise's expanded fiction line. He wrote Empty Throne (2025), a tie-in novel set in the Halo universe during the period leading up to the events of Halo Infinite. The novel forms part of Halo's broader print continuity, a body of tie-in fiction that runs alongside the mainline games to fill in backstory, side characters, and connective material between installments for longtime fans of the series. Patenaude's fiction output centers on this licensed tie-in work within the wider Halo publishing program, contributing to a franchise whose print fiction has, since the original trilogy, been written by a rotating slate of contributing authors.
