I plan to finally get the Halo books, any order I need to get them in for chronological order or just go by release dates?

This I do in honor of Pvt. Jenkins.

Start with Halo:The Fall Of Reach

Excuse me while I whip this out.

Join KOTOR?

You should start with the Fall of Reach and read chronologically up to the Ghosts of Onyx. The Cole Protocol and Contact Harvest can be read before or after, since they don't follow Blue Team, or Master Chief.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

Eric Nylund is a legend!!!

If you care enough about Johnson, beginning of the Covie-human war and the inner relationship between brutes and prophets then read Contact Harvest.

Stay away from Cole Protocol. it's poison!!!!

Contact Harvest is one of the best Halo books. Period.

And The Cole Protocol isn't that bad... Plus, seeing the Arbiter from his younger years was pretty cool.

Roughly in order:

The fall of reach
Contact harvest happens roughly halfway through tfor.
The flood / Halo CE
First strike overlaps with the end of TFOR, goes through the flood and continues until the beginning of halo 2
Halo 2
Ghosts of onyx has events that happen before reach falls but ends around the end of halo 2
Halo 3: ODST happens about 1/3 of the way through halo 2
Halo 3
