I’ve seen people talk about actors and artists that had a terrible time.
My own would be Anne Rice. She wrote Interview with the Vampire after her young daughter died of Leukemia. Then her husband suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage. I suspect her Christian, anti-fanfic phase was a result of mental illness and manipulation from the publishers, although I don’t think she ever apologized.
He wrote the tie-in novel for the original Halo: Combat Evolved, which basically set up the narrative for all the following games, including and especially Halo: Reach.
Fall of Reach is great and often gets a lot of deserved praise. I see Combat Evolved often get overlooked or skipped, people assuming it’s just a rehash of the game; Master Chief moving from room to room clearing enemies. But he managed to really write around that a lot, create some great original characters who’s doomed fate really hit hard. McKay was a great character, fleshing out Jenkins was awesome. And Keyes being assimilated was heartbreaking.
That’s where I know him from hahHa
Well, he wrote the Prequel and two sequel novels; one to Halo Combat Evolved and one that runs concurrently to the events of Halo 2.
Halo: Fall of Reach and Halo: First Strike are the prequel and sequel to Halo:CE, and Ghosts of Onyx is the one concurrent to Halo 2.
The book tie-in for Halo: Combat Evolved was written by William Dietz and it’s not very good.
Unlike Nylund’s work on Halo, which is fantastic.
Oh, my bad, yes The Fall of Reach is the book to which I’m referring. It played a big part in establishing the mythos of the franchise and is GOATed.
