Now for the third book
Halo: First Strike
Okay, this takes place right after the game. It appears that everyone has died on the ring except the MC. All they hear are "dust and echoes." Then a Coventant Flagship approoaches, and the MC and cortana know they're in trouble. they also spot a pelican dropship resting on some debris. At first they think it crashed, then they realized that it was perfectly in shape and resting on the asteroid, probably hiding from the covenant. The MC and cortant fly over there, and attatch the two ships. After opening the hatch, the MC pulls the crew in. The MC is shocked to see Sargent Johnson there. In case you don't remember, he was supposed to be dead since the flood ate him in that one cinematic. Also, if you've beaten the game on legendary, he should have died on Halo after the ship exploded (he was playing tug of war with the elite). After an interrogation, Johnson says that the flood didn't like the way he tasted...
The MC uses a daring move involving both the pelican and longsword figher. He uses a planets gravity to slingshot around the planet and head straight for the Covenant Flagship. The Flagship temporily lowers its shields to let out it's fighters, and, as planned, they use this to fly right into the ships dock. They eventaully have some firefights and try taking over the ship. The MC and an elite actually have a fistfight because the MC runs out of ammo, and there is a large struggle as the MC tries to overtake the elite. He eventually wins, though. After that, there is this time when the MC decides to return to Reach and to see what happened.
Sry, but i have to go again, i'll complete this summary later
