A Word from the Author

This story was conceived and mostly written just after the release of Halo 3. I had been thinking about what the future of the Halo universe might look like after the events of Halo 3. "Tajyyk'Ir" is a snapshot of my vision of that universe. It was written before the publication of "Glasslands" and before Halo 4. It does not remotely match Halo canon post-Halo 3, and does not attempt to.

As I suspect is true of all writers everywhere, I encourage and welcome feedback both positive and critical. Most importantly, enjoy!
