Im pretty favorable to Eric Nylund's Novels. Fall of Reach, First Strike, and Ghosts of Oynx. The rest of them are ok, except for The Flood, I read it once and never opened it again.
Yeah,I know what you mean.The Flood didn't seem to pay any attention to the big picture in terms of plot,and at parts just seemed like a Halo:CE review.It took a more theatrical approach that I was thankful was not echoed in the later novels.On topic:Yes,I have read Fall of Reach,and yes I found it to be the best novel of the series with First Strike as a close second.Eric Nylund really knows what he is doing.I thought the Cole Protocol was pretty well excecuted,but was disappointed that Eric Nylund did not sign on to write the book,even after expressing his interest in the story of Gray Team.
Still,I think it was good that Tobias S. Buckell,a fairly green writer,got some recognition.I thought his rendering was well done,but leaned a bit to much on the attributes of the Halo 3 video game.Anyway,read the book,loved it,have started reading it again.
