Well, Halo 1 starts out with the Chief and Cortana running away from Reach. Can't help you much with the books.... you should rent H1 and 2 to play the campaigns. They are both really good. Btw if you do play H2 prepare for some major WTF when you beat it lol.

In this order:

-Beginning of Fall of Reach
-Contact Harvest
-Halo Genesis
-Halo Wars
-Late-Beginning of Fall of Reach
-The Cole Protocol
-The Middle to End of Fall of Reach
-Halo 1/The Flood are simultaneous
-First Strike
-Halo 2/Ghosts of Onyx/Halo 3: ODST are simultaneous
-Halo Uprising
-Halo 3

-Halo Reach falls just short of halo 1 most likely.

Actually I had a more correct order than you with the exception of Cole Protocol which I placed after the middle of Fall of Reach however it IS after Halo Wars which is approx. 5 years after Contact Harvest. I can go get all the books out and get you some dates but I'd rather not go to all the trouble if avoidable.

Fall of Reach covers time far before the first human-covenant interaction and times before Halo 1 but after the beginning of the covenant attacks and then it wraps up right before Halo 1 which is why I have it broken into 3 pieces above.

Ghosts of Onyx is NOT during Halo 1/The Flood. Spartan Blue team is fighting the invading Covenant during the first battle of Earth early on in the book before they escape to Onyx. The Covenant don't arrive on Earth until the beginning of Halo 2 and they leave Earth at Halo 3 so Ghosts of Onyx must occur between those two points and thus it would be simultaneous with the events oh Halo 2.

OP, to get a good grasp of what will be going on, you should get this little trilogy pack. It has Fall of Reach, The flood, and First Strike all packaged together. There are other books that I think you should read some time, but if you just want to know what will be happening, you should read those.
p.s. If you haven't played the other Halo games you are missing out (Halo 1 had the best campaign.)
