"Don't mistake your rank and number for superiority.
The oldest child may learn from the youngest."

I'm looking at getting all the Halo books for Christmas this year, but I'm confused as to what order they are in and which ones I need to get. If possible, please send me links through the Bungie store (in order).

In the order of when they were published:
1) The Fall of Reach
2) The Flood
3) First Strike
4) Ghosts of Onyx
5) Contact Harvest
6) The Cole Protocol
7) Evolutions

You have a couple of choices to make. You can either get the original Fall of Reach, or the newly retconned version. I don't know what the differences are, so I can't help you there. I just know that I like the original story, and I don't plan on changing it in my mind.

There is also the original Evolutions, which is just one book, and the new two volume set that is being released on the 30th I think. It is a few pages longer (like 50 to 100 or so) but I don't think anyone knows what will be different about the two volume version.

I also recommend the Halo Graphic Novel.

Thank you so much guys.

"Be Silent and Swift..."

The newest versions of the original trilogy don't change any plot points, just fix some inconsistencies. Plus, there's new, extra info at the end, and it's in a nicer format than the originals.

They were released in this order:

1) The Fall of Reach
2) The Flood
3) First Strike
4) Ghosts of Onyx
5) Contact Harvest
6) The Cole Protocol

I would read them in this order though.

Contact Harvest
The Cole Protocol
The Fall of Reach
The Flood
First Strike
Ghosts of Onyx

Awesome. I'll definitely look into those also.

Bungie.

they've added about forty pages of extra content to all of the rewritten books and small technical changes, get the normal books they're cheaper and you can get a box set with three of them.

They're re releasing Evolutions? That just came out last yearish. I'm not gonna keep buying all these retcons.
