It's the best Halo book yet. Not a lot of action, if you like action, but it supplies SOOOOO much information on the Flood, Forerunners, and Precursors.

Yes, You will be surprised by all of the plot twists, or new things that you may have not expected.

Thanks for the info. i love all the material they are writing about the forerunners and flood, pumps me up for the new trilogy to see what new information is uncovered.

edit: are you really the only person who has read it on here? lol

It's great, you'll probably need to get used to it and you're going to have to read it very carefully but it's great.

It really does elevate the Halo universe to another level of sophistication. I was reading it earlier (nearly finished) and with each turn of the page I just kept thinking how different it all feels. Very interesting book, filled with shocking revelations.

Yeah. You'll be surprised about what happened. Also, like the other guy said. Take it slowly otherwise it can get confusing. They talk about some advanced stuff in this book.

ya i had to read over it a couple times, this is just sooo different just in the way they speak and how it is written. you really can just feel the level of intelligence of them or maybe my lack of haha

Greg Bear is just a grizzled ancient who doesn't want to change his ways from traditional Sci Fi.

I wouldn't say it's the best read, but it is definitely the most grasping and informative. I have the FUNNIEST interpretation of Riser ever.

I accidently used the wrong Xbox Live Gamertag on this, oh well :P
My real gamertag is jcgerrard8, if you want to play with me then send me a message :)

Im gonna get it, and try to make sense of it all. Halo's story is just soo big, soo much information.
