whats the name of the book

My name is from Star Wars. Now you know.

Feel free to follow me on my twitter and stalk me.

I read roughly a year ago. I wasn't expecting much from it, but I was surprised at how good it was. I am really looking forward to Halo: Reach now.

The two books that really tie the Halo Universe together are Fall of Reach and First Strike.

The game will most likely be roughly based on the book Fall of Reach and First strike takes place between Halo CE and Halo 2.

I Heart Halo

It is the only good Halo Book so far. The other ones were -blam!-/weird. It is the only one that seems to have influenced the games.

I don't think that the game will be about the book, but probably hint to things that happened in the book.

And yes, I have read it several times. It is better than a lot of books that I have read, honestly.

The book is called Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund for those wondering.

I would disagree, First Strike is the best because you learn how MC went from floating in space after blowing up installation 04 to floating above earth in Halo 2. Plus you learn what happens to the other Spartans.

PPPPPP--POWER!

I'm sure it probably will help Bungie in some way. I just wonder if it will be as little as the equivalent sci/fi model: Star Wars.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Have I read the novel that the game will be based on? I dont know since there is no information about the game that hints as to what we will be doing, everything is just speculation and theories.


If the game does in fact talk about the fall of the planet Reach, then yes, I read First Strike.

I loved First Strike and Fall of Reach.

I've read all the novels and comics several times, and even have the audiobook versions of the novels, it gives a different perspective adding a voice. As other have stated, The Battle of Reach and Raid of Reach take place in both The Fall of Reach and First Strike.
