this is one of the reviews i wrote on Amazon.com
--------------------
The Fall of Reach >>> HALO + The Flood >>>First Strike >>> HALO 2 (Nov 9th 2004)
__________
The Fall of Reach: Planet Reach is one of major Human Colonies and the Humans are confident that it will not fall to the Covenant. Its one of the Inner colonies and is basically second to planet EARTH. It has SUPER-MAC orbital defence guns and hundreds of UNSC ships patrol the space around planet REACH-It cannot fall...but it does.
This books introduces most of the terms and charachters, so is a must read. sort of "read this first"
__________
HALO (Xbox game) : you have to play the game to find out what happens. Believe it or not the game has a very strong storyline to it.
__________
The Flood: Ok, you cannot play the game because you don't have $200 to invest, read all about it in "The Flood". This one tells you what really happens on HALO. plus a lot more...
There are things in this book that are not in the game. Also this is the only book that tells the Covenant part of the story. So you get to know Covenant Elite names, like Zuka Zamamee the Elite, Gagaw the Grunt and Yayap the Grunt.
___________
First Strike: After you have played the game or read "The Flood" you would want to know what happens before HALO 2. So "First Strike" fills the gap.
___________
HALO 2 (Xbox game): Comes out Nov 6th 2004...I hope they release a book for it.
