I've read all three, I I like the first and 3rd about the same, and I agree when poeple say the second is too inconsistant, but I did like the other points of veiw (as others have said). The only thing I didn't like is inconsistancies. For exaple, in TFoR, few covanent ships fire plasma torpedos at the Super MACs, which promptly destroy the ships, but the plasma torpedos continue forward and destroy the Super MACs. But, in FS, when a ship is destroyed, its plasma torpedos fall apart because its ship is no olonger projecting a magnetic feild to contain it (I beleive this to be correct). Here is another example. In First Strike, it says that the Master Cheif and everyone else use the longsword to board the Ascendant justice, and the pelican is destroyed. Later, when in the Ascendant Justice's launch bay, He (eric nylund) calles it a pelican. This is probably just a typo, but I still find it annoying. I am not trying discredit the books, and I still like them, I just wanted to point it out.
The covies wouldnt have to guide the plasma shots, the mac guns werent moving, so as long as the coordinates were set corectly, it would hit the targets.
