The details of this are found in the second Halo book --> "Halo: The Flood." I read the trilogy BEFORE getting the game, so did not pick up on how well this book embraces the game plot.
I wonder: Did Bungie say to the authors, "O.K., guys, even though you are successful science fiction writers, before you write a single sentence or start your outline you WILL beat Halo at least three times, and at least once on Legendary!" ? It seems as though they did, or maybe they had a peer review of the books by the game developers; because it is amazing how richly the Halo story is embellished in the books, without contradicting anything in the game.
