ok i recently picked up the halo books three pack at the mall. i polished off the first one in about a week of reading between xbl games and when i arrived at #2 it seemed more like a guide to beating Halo:ce then a "book" all that aside Great info on the flood and lovley images of the whole infection form chest bursting EWWWWW thing. when i arrived at book 3 however (firststrike) the storyline jumped Back in time to about 7/8s way through the "fall of reach" and picked up where the guys where landing for a final battle on reach.

i understand that 2 diffrent people worte these books but is there a storyline im missing here? because they really didnt need to tell us about the pointless last seconds of 27 spartans. honestly it could have gone further but instead went back 2 1/2 steps.

why didnt they combine ideas for the third book instead of saying its a series and messing around with the time line of things.

it would be like doing this: Marathon-----Halo:ce------myth:tfL

ok,. heres how it goes, I accidently read first strike first. The crystal that they find on reach, can bend time, thus even though the Chief and Cortana are lightyears away, They are doing the same thing at the same time basicly, If you didnt read it close enough like I did, its likely you didnt catch it, or you didnt read it fully.

Strange, I thought it was just a way of writing. You know, flashback style. They were just building the story behind Fred and all of them, so that you wouldn't just go "Omgwtf?!" when they suddenly met up again.
