I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.
IMO the writer made a big difference.
Eric Nylund wrote Fall of Reach, First Strike and Ghosts of Onyx, and he NAILED the Spartans on every level. And did pretty good with the Covenant too.
William Deitz wrote The Flood, and lets face it, he did a great job on the Flood themselves (though butchering the Covenant a little bit)
Contact Harvest was the work of Joseph Staten who is a great game plot writer as well (in seeing his work with ODST, no he did NOT write Halo 3.) He knows Brutes like no other, and did great with the rest of the Covenant as well.
Cole Protocol was written by Tobias S. Buckell, who I think knows Sangheili Culture like no other, it was fantastic on every level.
