'Its Official, You Suck'

Ive read the book Halo:Fall Of Reach and im just wondering could we possibly solve the disappearence of Spartan's Isaac 039 and Vinh 030 in Halo:Reach
Perhaps play from their point of view as the Covenant attacked CASTLE base and when the remote charges were set off.

They are only assumed to be KIA. I would just like to know for sure.

I agree with you.Perhaps one or both of them took cover and survived.I think this event would be a great addition to the Reach campaign.Oh,and this is off topic,but I think it would be interesting if a future Halo game were to incorporate the story of Randall,who in the novel Ghosts of Onyx,Dr.Catherine Halsey states to have been one of the only Spartans to truly go MIA,and furthermore,the only Spartan whose fate is unknown.What would be cool is if he were serving aboard a UNSC ship,when they detected an anomaly in deep space.The Captain of the vessel (preferably called the "Bunker Hill") decides to push further into unknow territory and investigate.The ship ends up finding a Halo Ring (this is before Master Chief's exploits on Instillation 04,mind you) that would ideally be classified as Omega Halo.Thhe ship would send teams down to investigate,which would come back reporting nothing covenant related on the structure,and would retire to their quarters.A few days later however,Randall would awake to sounds of screaming as crew members are being ripped apart by the Flood,the likes of which was passed to the recon teams via parasites in the air.Randall fights his way to the hangar,and (along with several marines and ops personnel) escape to the surface of Omega Halo just as the remaining non infected crew aboard the Bunker Hill put reactor levels on full causing them to go critical and the ship to self destruct,so the flood could not gain control of the ship.This is merely the beginning,but there are endless plot lines you could take with this story.

well read first strike you will know. it is probably certain they died since they were pinned down by hundreds of covenant and if they didnt kill them then the blast and the cave in would have. (i just read through that part yesterday cant wait to finish the book)

Actually as far as the flow of time is concerned, the events on Reach that are covered in First Strike aren't very far from the ending of The Fall of Reach at all. The Spartans on Reach are fighting at the same time MC is doing his thing on Halo.

It would be cool if Reach covered events from both The Fall of Reach and First Strike and made it into one long journey played through different POV's.

It would skip over the Flood, as we all know is just the written version of Halo. I would like that though it would have to be Halo: First Strike, because the events of the First Strike came later, between Halo 3 and Halo... Or at least the Flood.

Technically First Strike picks up at the end of The Flood, leading up to the events of Halo2. The sequance of books do not follow each other chronologically in all cases, you gotta pay attention to the time stamps at the beginning of each section. The first time I read the first three novels it was a little jarring but after paying attention to those I found little problem.
