Halo books: What's next?

[The Super Brando]

my theory is that the dyson sphere we saw in the legendary ending is the same one from ghosts of Onyx

I don't think this is the case. A dyson sphere is roughly the size of the Earth's orbit around the sun (depending on the star), which would be a massive body in space. The planet at the end of Halo 3 looks like a planet, which is much much smaller than a dyson sphere.

It couldn't be Onyx either, since the entire planet of Onyx disassembled at the end of the book Ghosts of Onyx.

And by the way, I freaking love these books. The Fall of Reach was just an amazingly fun read. I really hope they continue making more and exploring more of the Halo universe. I want them to continue into the future with the story after Halo 3, but I guess Bungie wants to hold onto that for future games.

the problem with that is that we get no perspective, we see the foreward unto dawn segment infront of the planet/sphere, but nothing giving relative scale, the dawn could have been a parsec away for all we know

True, we don't get perspective, but we do see what looks like a planet surface. At least I think I remember that.

It also looks to be orbiting a star, which a dyson sphere couldn't do because it would be many many times larger than a star.

The structure in Ghosts of Onyx was a "micro" Dyson Sphere, which would probably make it a fair deal smaller than the average Dyson Sphere.
