I work a fair amount, so recently, I've listened to a couple non-Halo audiobooks to see if it's something for me. While listening, I was afraid of missing details, lore, clever nods to things. It was a series that was new to me, so maybe that didn't help much. I found myself rewinding and skipping back a lot. It's even possible I hard a hard time attaching myself to the material and what I was hearing because I was trying to conceptualize story elements and characters in my head that I was 100% unfamiliar with. I also don't think the books that I listened to were very high quality either, so that probably didn't help.
Halo: Ghosts of Onyx is the fourth novel in the Halo series. The book is written by Eric Nylund and published by Tor Books. It was officially released on October 31, 2006, and was released as an audiobook on February 6, 2007. The unabridged version includes 9 disks, and is narrated by Jonathan Davis.
For several years, Ghosts of Onyx was one of the most popular Halo novels to have a sequel made. Frank O'Connor had hinted at the possibility of a follow-up to Ghosts of Onyx, authored by Eric Nylund. The sequel was already in talks by early 2010.[5][6] The follow-up to the novel was announced on July 20, 2010, and despite the earlier talks with Nylund, it was confirmed to be written by Karen Traviss, award-winning novelist and author of the Human Weakness short story in Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe. The novel, titled Halo: Glasslands, is a direct follow-up to the story of Ghosts of Onyx, and is the first of a new series to explore the Halo universe after the events of Halo 3.[1][7] It was released on October 25, 2011 on hardcover, paperback and audiobook.[8]
