and there are 3 books, fall of reach (before halo), the flood (during halo) and first strike (between halo 1 and 2). and when john was six, dr halsey and cpt keys, went looking for another child for the spartan project. they found john, then later on john was kidnapped and replace by a clone so his parents would know he was gone. then there were like 76 i think other children in the spartan project, they all trained togeather, but when i came to being chemically advanced half of them died. the rest after a few different sets of armour got the mjolnir amour that was in halo, but the covenat attacked and all the spartans were 'killed', then john fled on the pillar of autumn through slip space, and came out at halo.
thats a pretty brief explanation of the main plot of the first book.
you should get the books, they are a pretty good read.
