Halo: Cryptum, the first novel in the Forerunner Saga trilogy by science fiction legend Greg Bear, is set in the Halo universe and based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

But one species--eons beyond all others in both technology and knowledge--achieved dominance. They ruled in peace but met opposition with quick and brutal effectiveness. They were the Forerunners, the keepers of the Mantle, the next stage of life in the Universe's Living Time. And then they vanished. This is their story.

They have become both research animals and strategic pawns in a cosmic game whose madness knows no enda game of ancient vengeance between the powers who seeded the galaxy with life, and the Forerunners who expect to inherit their sacred Mantle of Responsibility to all living things.
