Subject: Fault with "The Fall Of Reach" ??

J-H

So i was reading through The Fall Of Reach the other day and i noticed that the dates in the chapter starters kept saying 2542 which instantly made me raise an eyebrow...I know for a fact that Chief escaped the Reach slaughtering in The Pillar Of Autumn in 2552, NOT 2542. The battle of Reach happened in 2552.

The Fall of Reach book took place during and a little bit after when the spartans were being trained. NOT during the actual batle.

wow, this guy just flipped open the book, read the first line of the chapter, and closed it thinking he had noticed something nobody else here did?

how embarrassing.

Why would a book called "The FALL of REACH" not have anything to do with the actual FALL of REACH? Try reading the book all the way through rather than just reading the blurb...

ANYWAY, yes...2542 when it should be 2552...and YES i am aware that most of the book isn't at the actualy battle but when the battle IS taking place it still says 2542

Takes place in August 2552. I'd check my copy had i not lost it.

When did I deny the fact that Reach hadn't fallen to the Covenant? Don't give me sass. lol

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

In my copy, it says 2525 at the end of pt. 2, and 2552 at the beginning of pt.3. I think you're mistaken.

Typos happen for everyone. These typos can even happen in books, especially when the editor doesn't know how the story is.

photo proof that atleast my copy has a critical fault with it, i mean i don't mind the occassional spelling or punctuation error but i think messing up a date on, as far as i am aware, every chapter's title is a bit of a mess up... stil a very good book, though :)
May be poor quality photo

1. Get a pen.
2. Write a "5" over the "4" in "2542"
3. ???
4. Fixed book!

...or you could just buy a newer edition.

I would have to go through every chapter with a pen (too lazy) and also i literally got this copy only a couple of weeks ago off of Amazon so i thought it would be the newest edition.

As others have said, it is a typo.

I don't need to "calm down"...i know it's just a typo i was merely seeing if anyone else had it in their books and apparently nobody does. :)

Does it really matter? Would that affect the game play? Would it cause your xbox to go RRoD? Would it bring about the end of mankind? Probably.....

Surely you've read Ghost's of Onyx, there were numerous grammatical mistakes in that book.
