I played the original Halo trilogy years ago, and distinctly remember reading the first three Halo novels that were published: вЂњHalo: The Fall of Reach,вЂќ вЂњHalo: The Flood,вЂќ and вЂњHalo: First Strike.вЂќ Rereading вЂњThe Fall of ReachвЂќ almost 15 years later, I wa Well, IвЂ™m doing it: IвЂ™m diving full on into the Halo universe. So, in other words, it was nice knowing yaвЂ™ll вЂ“ IвЂ™ll see you in 20ish years. Games, novels, comics, web series, podcastsвЂ¦IвЂ™m doing all of them, in the order that they were released. Well, IвЂ™m doing it: IвЂ™m diving full on into the Halo universe. I'd recommend playing the first Halo in place of reading The Flood as it is virtually the exact same story.more I didn't feel the emotion nearly as much.

Basically it sounded like he never played the games himself and just watched someone play them and wrote down what they did. It was written by a different author who seemed to be more of a scribe for a gamer just playing thru the game. Also, I didn't like the 2nd book as much (The Flood).

You will be a Spartan when this is over.Дisclaimer: I played Halo 1 before reading this series which may have helped me develop a relationship with the general story and characters. Solid read with some great character development. Verdict: I loved Ender's Game, and I'd place this right along side it. It used lots of Navy jargon and tried to sprinkle military tactics in to most of the battle situations. The game made a lot more sense after reading this book. To wrap up, the book also takes place before the events in the Halo video game and explains the origins of the character you play. I bought Halo 3 and barely played it because of the Halo book trilogy! Instead, it reminded me of Orson Scott Card's 'Ender's Game' and the idea of how you *create*, rather than recruit, elite soldiers. You feel their passion, you want them to win, and are pained by their loss. Eric Nylund did a great job of bringing these characters to life and making you 'believe' in what the Spartan's believed. You never 'felt' what happens behind the mask. Most of all, you see how conflicted they are. You see the painful life of brainwashing and conditioning they've gone through. You place yourself in their shoes and they are no longer dudes who are just good at shooting things. Got this: A book that doesn't focus on wars or engagements, but the thoughts and emotions of the Spartan's (yes, they have emotions!). A book about mindlessly shooting things up. You see the painful life of brainwashing and conditioning they've gone t Ha! A book about Halo?! ROFL.Д®xpected this: 'Grenade, headshot, headshot. Expected this: 'Grenade, headshot, headshot. And at least one of them-the SPARTAN known as Master Chief-will live to fight another day on a mysterious and ancient, artificial world called Halo.more They will kill, they will be destroyed, but they will never surrender. Now, as the ferocious Covenant attack begins, a handful of SPARTANs stand ready to wage ultimate war. It is the training ground for the very first 'super soldiers.' Code-named SPARTANs, these highly advanced warriors, specially bioengineered and technologically augmented, are the best in the universe-quiet, professional, and deadly.

Outnumbered and outgunned, the soldiers seem to have little chance against the Covenant, but Reach holds a closely guarded secret. But the personnel here have another, higher priority: to prevent the Covenant from discovering the location of Earth. Practically on Earth's doorstep, it is the last military fortress to defy the onslaught. While the brutal Covenant juggernaut sweeps inexorably through space, intent on wiping out humankind, only one stronghold remains-the planet Reach. Now, brought to life for the first time, here is the full story of that glorious, doomed conflict. the desperate, take-no-prisoners struggle that led humanity to Halo-the fall of the planet Reach. While the brutal Covenan As the bloody Human-Covenant War rages on Halo, the fate of humankind may rest with one warrior, the lone SPARTAN survivor of another legendary battle.
