HALO: THE COLE PROTOCOL TO LAUNCH ON NOVEMBER 25th
NEW YORK, NY – October 7, 2008. Tor Books today announced Halo: The Cole Protocol will be released on November 25 – just in time for the holidays! The cover image for the new novel has been officially revealed to coincide with the announcement (see attached).
Halo: The Cole Protocol is the sixth in the New York Times bestselling literary series based on the blockbuster Microsoft and Bungie Studios’ Halo® video games. An unabridged audiobook edition will publish simultaneously with the new novel.
Written by Nebula nominee and Prometheus Award finalist, Tobias Buckell, Halo: The Cole Protocol unveils the location of the Spartan Gray Team and takes readers into an unexplored conflict of the Human-Covenant War, where unlikely alliances are formed and shattered, altering the course of the humanity’s epic struggle for survival. The Halo novels, Halo: Ghosts of Onyx (Tor 2006) and Halo: Contact Harvest (Tor 2007) became instant bestsellers and they, along with the three previous novels, have helped establish Halo® as one of today’s greatest science fiction franchises.

Download Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows
Did you get your copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at midnight? Have you been reading since you got it? Do you know who lives and who dies yet? Do you care? As far as book series go, you have to admit, it’s been a great ride for J.K. Rowling but I wonder just what she must feel knowing it’s really over now? Rarely do concepts such as this take on a life of their own but this one sure did and it’s spawned a whole cult following and even managed to get itself added to the “banned books” list in virtually every school library.
Soon enough it’ll be common knowledge what happens to the main characters. We’ve been teased with the rumors of multiple deaths and no doubt it won’t be long before those are revealed and the hype will subside. Some apparently can’t wait to get the word out, as the 759 page book has apparently been photographed and turned into an ebook, and made available on multiple torrent sites. There’s also rumor of a typed version is floating around as well.
I’m not one to really support the pirating movement, unless of course it’s some Microshaft is peddling, but if your less scrupulous than I am or your just bored, have a go at The Pirate Bay. A search of Harry Potter - The Death Hallows” should turn up some reasonable results for you. For everyone else who believes good work should be justly rewarded, get your copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows from Amazon now.
