I haven't read through all the posts yet but from what I have no one has mentioned that the books never stated that the rest of the Spartans were killed.
My theory is that after MC destroyed the "Uneven Elephant", the covenant forces were pulled out of Reach in order to regroup and chase the artifact. Eventually the humans send out survivor search parties to Reach and recover a handful of Spartans! I believe MC will get some help in part whether its from the three left (Fred, Will, Linda), the aforementioned Kelly and Spartan III's, or from Reach Red Team survivors.
If I missed something or this has been covered, feel free to curse my name that I may not get the day off 11-9-04.
