Other Intellectual Property-derived Works
In addition to Star Wars novels, Traviss also wrote a Gears of War prequel novel, Gears of War: Aspho Fields which was released on October 28, 2008. She was inspired to do so after watching a trailer for the game. She then went on to write the sequels Gears of War: Jacinto's Remnant, released on July 28, 2009, Gears of War: Anvil Gate, released on August 31, 2010 and Gears of War: Coalition's End, set for release on August 2, 2011. She also served as the lead writer for Gears of War 3.
She wrote together with Eric Nylund and Tobias S. Buckell and many other authors the short story collection Halo Evolutions: Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, which was released in November 2009.
On July 21, 2010, Traviss announced on her blog that she had signed a multi-book deal to write novels set in the Halo universe. The first book is set after the events of Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, and is a continuation of that story line. Explaining why she had agreed to write in the Halo universe, Traviss said that "there's an awkward and upsetting moral dilemma at the heart of the story, and if there's something I can't resist more than money, it's exploring moral dilemmas."

Famous quotes containing the words intellectual and/or works:
“... the novel is called upon like no other art form to incorporate the intellectual content of an age.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“I shall not bring an automobile with me. These inventions infest France almost as much as Bloomer cycling costumes, but they make a horrid racket, and are particularly objectionable. So are the Bloomers. Nothing more abominable has ever been invented. Perhaps the automobile tricycles may succeed better, but I abjure all these works of the devil.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
