Meeting Greg Bear...

this Friday here local. I will also be getting my copy of Silentium.

Really looking forward to this and will be posting pics via a flickr link.

Anyone else in San Diego going?

Greetings all,

I’ve put off Silentium so far, just in order to meet the author himself. Greg Bear was at Mysterious Galaxy bookstore in San Diego, where a small crown gathered to hear tidbits and his thoughts on the Halo universe as a whole, specifics about the book, 343 and some of his other works.

He noted that Silentium would his last efforts in the Halo universe.While the crowd was small, it was a mixed group of gamers and sci-fi bibliofiles.

I managed the first question, the only one I posed for the night, regarding the confusion of the 343 Guilty Spark destroyed at the end of Halo 3 and that which appeared In Halo:Primordium. While he did not answer the quesion directly, he did note that the Chakas/343 GS does appear in the book, alluding to some clarification on the confusing matter. I did get the feeling that he may not have completely understood my question.
