Book 1- Tells of how the Spartans came to be. How he is the "last" one. A little about Halo.
Book 2- Practicaly just a funnier re-tell of the game.
Book 3- Chief gets a ride home. Meets a couple. Has some fun killin'.

Yep that's pretty much it. Since I don't want to spoil it for you.

Book 1- The Fall of Reach
Book 2- The Flood
Book 3- First Strike

Show? They talk about them yes. Spartan-096 is Grace. Book 3, Book 1... I'm not sure. But I read those books about seven times each. I'm addicted.

The Fall of Reach: Outlines how the chief became the chief. His origin, training, first missions, team, all the way up to the first cutscene of the video game.

The Flood: The Story of Halo the video game. Very cool. Answers a lot of questions such as: Where the hell do the Marines come from? Does the MC ever sleep? Who is Foehammer? What happened to the Marines on Halo? Did chief just leave them to die without even trying to save them (my first question at the end of the game)?

First Strike: Explains how the MC got away from Halo and his awesome exploits with Cortana. Wondering if anyone was tough enough to survive Halo? How will it affect Halo 2?

Definately read these books. They are amazing and a great read. It also does provide excellent insight on the Covies. You even read chapters of their thoughts and motivations. Hope this helps!

So I must buy them!!!!! but on a scale of one to ten what do you rate the books? compare them to something in term of greatness.

I'm a huge Star Wars nut. My favorite book was "Star Wars: Starfighters of Adumar" Don't know if you read it, but that was a perfect 10. It is also the book to which I compare every other book I read. Halo books=10. Just as good.
