| 1 because they are pretty good and 2 because they give a HUUUUUGGGGEEEE amount of background information on the halo series. | |

But even so it's better reading them for yourself because what other people told you may be incorrect or lacking some information, and they're just a really good read. | |

| I suppose there is the chance it could be incorrect...I mean, guys over at the Maw are constantly arguing about details, and I'm here like...WTF?
Also, are there any faults to the books? | |

| So which book is based on which game? Or is it kind of like a..."Yeah, we have a storyline, we'll start and finish each book in a random place?" | |

| Well Fall of Reach ends just before Halo:CE starts. Just as they find the ring... So I think the next one would be about Halo:CE, the one after that based on Halo 2 etc. | |

| Fall of Reach is from the start of the Spartan-II project (the MC's start basically), The Flood is during Halo CE, First Strike is after Halo CE but before the start of Halo 2. Ghosts of Onyx is at the same time as all three of those books i believe and Contact Harvest is the Start of the Human Covenant War which started sometime during the First book. | |

| So...they're all over the place? It's not so much a chronological series as a series focusing on different aspects of the books? | |

| yeah, Fall of Reach, The Flood and First Strike all have an order (the order which i said them) and then the other two do their own thing sort of. | |

| i think that the books would be a good idea to read. they cleared up some stuff for me. because i was confused and i also wanted to know more about how everything came to be and what not. so i went and read them. well the first two. but i am almost done with the thrid one,[first strike] and it all helped me. well the first book did. that helped the most. | |

| I've read the Fall of Reach and First Strike and they really do give a lot of information. Although whoever came up with the story-line really seem to like killing the characters off... | |

| That would be really hard. Too many to count. What I meant was the Spartans seem to, when they die, die quickly and in groups. Or something like that. I don't really know what I meant anymore. | |

| yeah (i did see what you meant i just twisted it) actual characters do die really fast in the books. All the spartans pretty much died in one go (excluding the ones lost through augmentation and such) in that battle on reach. but i think thats what the writers intended, as the entire war was all rather fast paced with our disadvantage in space. | |

| Yeah, the characters dieing all at once makes a weird kind of sense, in a way. It also works really well with the story. I'm just glad there were at least a few left. | |
