The Flood is almost exactly like the Game Halo. There are a few new things, though. Read the book and see for yourself what they are.

I would, but I dont want to re-play Halo through the form of reading The Flood. Know what I mean? Well one of the main things I want to know is where did Frederic came from? At the end of The Fall of Reach I thought all the other Spartans died?

READ IT. It covers perspectives from the MC, Cortana, The other Marines on Halo, Keyes, and even the Covenant. Cool stuff, but still the...not so much WORST, but not the BEST of the series.

The whole point of this thread is Im NOT going to read it. All I would like to know is a few minor details of the book, like why is a Spartan still alive.

Most Halo gamers found "The Flood" book a unnecessary read, especially if you played through the game, because it acts as a recap of the events in the game.

But in reading this book you will learn that the Master Chief is being watched closer than we have been led to believe by the Covenant.

"The Fall of Reach" and "First Strike" are the two you should not miss.

Yeah The Flood doesn't tell much we didn't know in Halo, but it beefed up the story a bit. Also, you'll find out why Fred is alive when you read further into First Strike.

Man I hear all of these posts that talk about a guy reading one of the books then not wanting to read the other ones so they ask here for answers. 98% of the people on here will not tell what will happen goes they know how good the books are and want you to figure it out for yourself with out asking here. so in other words READ!!!

Well obviously from majority of the post on all the threads about the books, its pretty clear that The Flood is a book that people intersted in the Halo story can do without. Thats why I went from The Fall of Reach straight to First Strike. The tuth is that I probably already know what The Flood is about, for I have played Halo untill my eyes bled, and I dont feel the need to recap those events. All Im asking for is if there is anything significant int The Flood that one might want to know before continuing the saga of HALO? And as far as I can tell that answer is a resounding NO. END OF THREAD ~MODS LOCK AND DELETE IF YOU SO WISH~
