Eric Mason, DivinePistol

I loved it!

There are two conclusions i draw from finishing this book...

1. That August 30th was a very long day
and
2.That allthough the POA was on Reach to retrieve Cortana from noble 6, it was also in space destroying a covenant flag ship with Cortana already on it. Then the events of Halo CE occur.

The novel was great!

I agree. Although there was some spaces for some events in Reach to happen ( The Pillar of Autumn could of landed on Reach without documenting it due to its importance. ), I still lean towards the books.

August 30th was when the Fleet of Particular Justice arrived and destroyed the remaining defenses.

About the PoA landing, I have seen it pointed out there is a gap of time between them picking up Master Chief and leaving. A gap big enough for them to have landed, picked up the Cortana fragment that had been studying the Forerunner structure and data, then leave.

August 30th was when The Covenant and UNSC Main Fleets arrived and fought. And there is plenty of time for the Pillar of Autumn to land and retrieve Cortana's fragment.

I think bungie retconned it and the fleet arrived on the 14th...or was it the 15th after jorge died.

Actually, that was an advance force that followed the pre-invasion force.

Actually, two fleets arrived. One fleet arrived after the LNOS was destroyed, and started the main battle.

On the 30th, the second fleet, dwarfing other Covenant fleets the UNSC had seen, arrived in the system and advanced.

The game canon comes first in priority. You need *SPOILERS* in your title!

Halo: Reach never happened. It was a dream.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Yes. Just a figment of everybody's imagination.

Books come first for me. It doesn't matter what the games say. Books are truth. Of course the games without books are truth also. Like Halo 2, 3, Wars, and ODST.

Yeah i agreed with your 2nd proposition, the thing is if it was like this, it could be much more coherent with the book. i can imagine this last level with a longsword who appear in the game's manual.
