To be completely honest the canon policy of bungies time with game>books makes the books propaganda seeing how the UNSC atleast put up a fight.
In the game they don't have MACs, the planet was taken over by corvettes, homefleet was destroyed by a single SC,etc
not that i am supporting the game it is disrespectful in so many ways
Orbital defenses are referenced a few times in the campaign. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Planet wasn't taken over, I never got that feeling before LNOS. Maybe after when battlecruisers were involved, but not before.
Also didn't get the feeling the entire homefleet was destroyed. Sounded more like the supercarrier smacked everything near it down and stayed put.
Then again, the book is, in a sense, just as foolish. All the supermacs were in a single location in orbit, the UNSC air force and ground defenses never mobilized, UNSC command was taken down within a few hours of the dropships reaching the poles despite heavy loses on the Covenant dropship numbers.
