Subject: What order do you read the Halo Books in?

I got Fall of Reach today and, I want to read them in the right order but, I'm not sure which one is first. I've seen lists that say it is though. Also, some lists say that Harves is after the others but, shouldn't Harvest be first? 'Cause Harvest fell before Reach. It says so in the Combat Evolved manual.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

The order is:

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

I don't remember where Cole Protocol fits in though. And Cryptum is of course way before Contact Harvest.

I'd say you should do it in this order:

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

Those are the main 6 that you should read first but there's also the Forerunner Trilogy and Halo Evolutions

Signatures are for squares.

Read them in the order they were released. Trust me, it makes the most sense.

1. Fall of Reach
2. The Flood
3. First Strike
4. Ghosts of Oynx
5. Contact Harvest
6. Cole Protocol
7. Evolutions
8. Cryptum
9. Glasslands(not yet released.)

Okay thanks. I have another question, does it matter what order I read them in?

Not really, if you understand at what point in the timeline each book takes place and have a rough understanding of halo you should be good.

It's still nice to do it in order though
