Fractures

by James Swallow

2016

A Deus Ex collection of short fiction set around the fractured world of augmentation politics and corporate conspiracy. It expands the Jensen-era setting with extra angles on fear and control.

Series background & context

Halo is military science fiction built around humanity's wars, ancient Forerunner technology, alien alliances, and soldiers shaped by impossible conflicts. The universe is broad, with games, novels, comics, and audio material filling in different fronts.

James Swallow's connection to Halo sits within his wider tie-in career, where he often handles action-heavy shared worlds with established lore. If a Halo title appears here, treat it as part of that larger military sci-fi web rather than an isolated stand-alone.

For new readers, Halo usually works best when you know the basics: Spartans, the Covenant, the UNSC, and the old technology everyone keeps finding before they understand it.
