I wish it were written by Nylund too. I think his books are most interesting because they describe the nature of the legacy of the Spartans. Ghosts of Onyx and Fall of Reach are amazing.
My second favorites are First Strike and Contact Harvest. First Strike fits Nylund's style but was not quite as good as his other two. Contact Harvest was a completely different style that I don't like as much, but I still enjoyed the story because the story itself was well-written. Plus, Contact Harvest has an awesome ending (no, I'm not talking about Avery and Jilan, but about Mack's logs in the last few pages).
Halo: The Flood was not too entertaining to me because I had already experienced the same story with Halo 1. Sure, it was enriched, but it still lacked the sense of fresh appeal that all of the other books had.
Anyway, I'm willing to give Mr. Buckner a chance. As long as it stays true to the Halo Universe and manages to entertain, then in my eyes it is a welcome addition to the Halo Universe.
