Series
Kilo-Five Trilogy
Karen Traviss · 3 novels · 2011–2014
The Kilo-Five Trilogy is Karen Traviss's tie-in novel sequence for the Halo video game franchise: Halo: Glasslands (2011), The Thursday War (2012) and Mortal Dictata (2014). Set after the main games' war with the Covenant, it follows a covert UNSC special-operations unit navigating a fragile peace and the splintering alien factions left behind, introducing threads later picked up in the games themselves. It reads as a bridge between the shooter series and its wider expanded fiction.
