Good book, good friends, good conversations—that's episode four of Spartan Chatter in a nutshell!

We got together with 343 Industries staff Jeff Easterling and Alex Wakeford to chat about Halo: Outcasts, the latest book from Troy Denning which released on August 8. If you haven’t read it yet, don’t worry—spoilers are contained only to Chapters 1, 2, and 5 (which we've released as previews), so you can listen at will.

Some topic highlights include:

  • A brief recap of the story leading up to Halo: Outcasts in November 2559
  • A discussion of the general book synopsis—no spoilers!
  • Our new official guide to the Halo books, here on Halo Waypoint
  • What the Arbiter has been up to since Halo 3
  • The Created occupation of Sanghelios
  • Spartan Vale's character journey following the events of Halo 5
  • The role of Oath Wardens in Sangheili society
  • ...and more!

Also, don’t forget to head to the Halo Infinite Shop between now and August 22 to get your free Swords of Sanghelios-inspired Arbiter’s Guard coating set.
