I'm rereading Fall of Reach, and...
... it struck me instantly on reading this line that Eric Nylund probably knew *exactly* what happens to Jacob Keys in his future, given that this book was written as a companion / prologue to CE. Am I crazy, or is he out here jerking our heartstrings a bit?
For context, this is from page 158 of the old print of the novel, with the amazing and easily-dated cover of Blue Team depicted with CE in-game Spartan actor assets. Dated... but iconic. This section occurs as Keyes brooding on what to do with an insubordinate officer immediately after executing the Keyes Loop with the Iroquois en route to Sigma Octanus IV.
