The Halo: Reach story is based on the first book, Halo: The Fall of Reach. How do I know this? The image above depicts the main group of spartans that John-117 trained and went on missions with. From left to right the figures perfectly match the description of: Sam-034, Kelly-087, John-117, Fred-104, Linda-058. Of course there are more Spartans than that, but the names above are the core group.
It is mentioned in the book, that Admiral Cole took a fleet to take back Harvest. Sound familiar? That is because it is the root from which Halo Wars was created. The book left little description as to what happned in those years(2530-2531ish), so the game is it's own story. Halo: Reach however, starts around 2517 where you first meet Captain Keyes as a Lietenant and John-117 as a kid. The timline of the book is before, during, and after the story of Halo Wars.
