Unlike most books or shows spun off from a game, the Halo books are really incredible. The Fall of Reach tells the back story about the Spartans, why PoA is at Halo, and many other interesting things. It is packed with action, both on the ground, and out in space if your into all that tactical capital ship combat stuff. The Flood is basically the Halo video game, with all the action of the game, but you're not doing it. This is my least favorite one, but it's still pretty good. First Strike is about what happens after Halo explodes, and needless to say, the Master Chief gets off Halo alive. This story introduces a lot more conspiracy and mystery to the Halo storyline, and if you are at all interested in the storyline, these are all must-read books. First Strike plotlines may be included in Halo 2, and people who haven't read it may not understand what's going on, although I would think Bungie would explain anything that most people wouldn't. Anyways, read em' if you haven't they are excellent literature filled with action you've come to expect from the Halo franchise and tell parts of the story that you wouldn't find out any other way.
