I previously talked about the next Halo novel from Tor, Halo: Evolutions, here and now we have some great cover art, along with the list of authors involved! Halo: Evloutions will tell some of the many stories in the Halo universe, and will be released November 24, 2009. An unabridged audio book will be released as well at the same time.

“We sought out writers who came to the table with an obvious passion for Halo and amazing story ideas.” says Eric Raab, Tor editor. “We got stuff for every kind of Halo fan from straight up action with the Master Chief to glimpse into the Elite mindset post Halo 3, and some really cool explorations of some other familiar faces like Cortana, the Gravemind, and Admiral Preston Cole, and some awesome new stuff that wander into unexplored territory of the Halo mythos.”
