Tor books is expanding their Halo book series with the newly announced Halo: Evolutions. This book will include tales from Halo novelists Eric Nylund and Tobias Buckell, as well as newcomer Karen Traviss. There will also be stories from other bestselling authors along with the writers and creators of Halo themselves, including Robt McLees of Bungie, LLC.

“There are so many interesting and exciting playgrounds that are spawning from every HALO offering,” says Eric Raab, Tor editor. “This is a great chance to watch writers have some fun with these areas and expand on some of the unexplored mythos and characters, while at the same time creating new ones as well. Think of the short story collection as a new litter of Halo stories, each excitingly unique.”

Halo: Evolutions is set to be released in November 2009 along with an unabridged audio book.

At 2pm PST today Tobias S. Buckell, New York Times best-selling fiction writer will be hosted on the Stage at Metaplace. Metaplace is a website that lets users build their own virtual worlds, developed by Raph Koster (Ultima Online, SWG). The platform for Metaplace is “client-agnostic” so the worlds developed can be accessed using any web connecting device.

It should be an interesting time this afternoon when Buckell, author of “Halo: The Cole Protocol” and “Ragamuffin” takes the stage with his virtual-world avatar on Metaplace and talks about his website.
