[color=white]Have you read the three books?
The Fall of Reach, written by Eric Nylund, happens before Halo.
The Flood, written by William somethingorother, is the story of the game, with embellishments.
First Strike, also by Nylund, details the events between Halo's end and Halo 2's beginning (or close to it). I believe F.S. also gives a clue or explanation how the Covenant find Earth.
It's been a while since I read it.
Also, Reach isn't too far from Earth. Theoretically, the Covenant just had to look at the planets near Reach, realize there was a lot of human activity, and make an educated guess. And glass any planets between Reach and Earth on the way....[/color]
