Look, i've read all the books twice, and yes, John, Fred, Will, Kelly and Linda all survive, and ill bet that you'll fight with them in Halo 2.
But here's my question. In the first book, all of the remaining Spartans come together in a briefing room to recieve info on their mission to infiltrate a covie ship and their homeworld. However, it also says in one sentence:
"Assembled here tonight, are all the remaining Spartans save three, who are otherwise engaged in fields of combat to distant to be esaily recalled."
[Pg. 240, The Fall Of Reach]
Since Reach was only attack a few days later, I don't think those Spartans would have come back on time...so were they killed in action or what???
Yet, in The First Strike, the Chief marks all but the remaining Spartans (Linda, Kelly, Fred, Will and himself) as missing in action, which must include the three one who were far away...so what gives???
