Ninjabag the tea-pirates!

I don't want to join your group.

I have read ghosts of onyx which gives much of the Reach backstory.
Basically the Covenant are launching an assault on reach and the orbiting defence platforms are putting up a fight. Masterchief goes with Cortana to delete some codes off a ship or something (sorry can't remember) and sends the other Spartans to Reach to fight the Covenant who have landed there. Masterchief later goes to Halo after it is seen that Reach is lost and Admiral Keyes wants to make a getaway.
Meanwhile on Reach the Covenant are fighting human resistance while attempting to glass the planet. The Spartans on Reach protect the power generators for the orbital defence platforms to give the human forces more time. Eventually the Spartans meet up with their Mum (some doctor woman, i think she's called Naomi) and find a forerunner artifact. They fight some Covenant and end up going to Onyx.

On Onyx they meet up with some Spartan 3s and one of their old buddies who was thought to be dead. They get underground and activate something which shows that Onyx is made of sentinels. They then get teleported to a safe haven which will protect them from the halo rings firing (possibly the ark).

We don't know what happens to them until First Strike (none of the groundside battle of Reach is shown in The Fall of Reach). 5 of the 27 die, 14 have unknown fates, 5 are trapped under CASTLE base, and 3 help Whitcomb launch guerilla attacks against the Covenant.

who let the 8 year old in

1st of all the first strike talks about the fall of reach not onyx,

Masterchief goes with Cortana to delete some codes off a ship or something (sorry can't remember) - um no he goes with james and linda who both "die" well james gets shot into space and linda gets shot

Masterchief later goes to Halo after it is seen that Reach is lost and Admiral Keyes wants to make a getaway.- its captain keys not admiral keyes

and your last paragraph, did u just guess, 1st they met up with doctor halsey, thier creator, not their -blam!- mother, and only her and kelly go to onyx

.......

Firstly The first strike doesnt talk but if it did then its not about the Fall of reach it is about just reach, how the spartans escape and how the remaining spartans make it back to earth and obliterate a covenant armarda en route.

Secondly Linda doesnt die and it doesnt tell us if James does either.

Thirdly Master Chief isnt one word it is two, so before you criticize you "8 year old" why dont you read the books again?

I don't know what you're trying to say, but Halo REACH will be about the battle of Reach. If you notice its tagline, "Falls 2010," it parallels ODST's "Drops 2009" tagline.

ODST's refers to when the ODSTs drop to the surface of Earth in the beginning of the game, and I have no doubt that REACH's refers to the Spartans of Red Team's fall to Reach in the beginning of the game.

First Strike is the novel which talks about First Strike; The Fall of Reach doesn't mention what happens to Red Team. We see the actual fall of Reach in First Strike, while all we see in the end of TFoR is the generators overran from space; the real fall happened on the surface, because the planet only fell when the generators are overrun (this is detailed in First Strike).

Thank you for the correction, i will keep that in mind. I can't be bothered to read the books again as i have already read them and remember main plot elements.
