It should probably be noted – though this might go without saying – that the storyline you are reading in Reclaimer should be considered to take place in an alternate Haloverse. As such it has little relationship to the Halo story that takes place in the games as issued by Bungie canon. There are certainly some similarities in such things as the Spartan program and the existence of the Covenant, but these may well be where the similarities end. Consider Reclaimer, if you will, to simply be a different level of the Tower, to borrow from the SK mythology. No one has, as yet, tried to hold me to canonical Halo lore in this series, but this my way of heading any potential complaints off at the pass. I have no intention of trying to adhere to that well-built universe, since I’d much rather devise a similar one of my own that will be a much bleaker, more pessimistic view of the human condition. Be forewarned!
