**I haven't really read all 27 pages, so don't get mad if what I say has already been said.**
In the first demo that came out, at the end I was confused where he was going. I mean, was he just gonna freefall toward Earth or plan on landing on a covenant cruiser? I know that he could survive a drop like that, as he has before in whatever Halo book it was. But, yes, it is an interesting little thing that the advertisement says, but it doesn't mean that it actually, well, means anything. It makes sense though. The covenant did not destroy Reach. Why? Because there was a huge forerunner facility inside of it, for those who haven't read the books. That is my guess as to why the covenant just don't go the easy way and glass the whole planet; there is probably a Halo artifact in/on Earth unknown to us. What makes me wonder is why don't the covenant want us on their side? I mean, hell, they have those useless Grunts, so why not us? It would be nice to see who these 'Forerunner' guys are. Why did they leave? Are they still alive? I know these guys are ancient, but where did they go? Why not stick around? So many questions. . .
Maybe that's what the covenant are trying to do. Kill enough of the Humans to get them down to a managable size, brainwash them to believe in the word of the Prophets, and have them screw like crazy until the population is large enough to introduce the humans into the covenant army. That might be how all the other species became members of the covenant.
Also, in First Strike when the Spartans jump out of the pelican, like half of them die, so I think the MC is aiming towards the cruiser.
