In an infuriating interview with arch-nemesis site IGN, Halo novelist Eric S. Nylund starts off with a bold-faced lie...
I really enjoy reading IGN. You guys do a bang-up job.
... and then proceeds to field a lot of questions about the plot of his upcoming novel, Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.
Except he really doesn't tell us anything about the plot at all. Spoilers, don't you know. And as much as I actually think Nylund is just a bang-up pulp novelist, he makes me want to reach through my computer screen and throttle him.
I know spoilers are a big concern for those whose sole appreciation of art is what happens next. But for those of us that are more concerned with the dramatic significance of what happens — who reject the idea that a good story (outside, say, a mystery) can be spoiled — this sort of teasing is extremely frustrating. Thanks for the non-interview, Eric!
