Halo pron for a sleepy Sunday

We know you are a little lonely today. It's OK, your good buddy Destructoid is here to comfort you through another lazy Sunday. As you wade through the non-news of a non-news day, we're so happy to give you something as meaningless as this: some Halo novel pron. The cover art for the upcoming novel Halo: Ghosts of Onyx has finally seen the light of day and now you can stare at this and dream of Halo 3 and trash-talking 12-year-olds fed up with being stuffed into lockers. But, until then, you can read up on your Halo lore. Check out the storyline for this November novel:

The Spartan-II program has gone public. Tales of super-soldiers fending off thousands of Covenant attacks has become the stuff of legend. ... Master Chief defends a besieged Earth, and the myriad factions of the Covenant continue their crusade to eliminate humanity, an ultra-secret cell of the Office of Naval Intelligence known as "Section Three" devises a plan to buy the UNSC vital time. They're going to need hundreds of will soldiers though ... and one more Spartan to get the job done. The planet Onyx is virtually abandoned and the perfect place to set this new plan in motion. But when the Master Chief destroys Halo, something is triggered deep within Onyx. Ancienct Forefunner technology stirs, and fleets of UNSC and Covenant race to claim it to change the course of the Human Covenant War. But this reawakened and ancient force may have plans of its own...
