Ok I just got The Fall Of Reach and First Strike in the mail. I havebeaten Halo so I didn't bother ordering the Flood. Now I see that the books are so good that I'm having second thoughts. People have been saying that their favoritte is either FOR or FS. Nobody mentions the Flood. Can you guys tell me if its worth it to get The Flood considering the fact that I beat Halo and know the story? Will it reveal things that are not in the game? And last is it worth my time? Thanx alot guys.

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Yes it's worth the time. It may not be the best book of the three, but it's a good read.

The only thing that is different from the game to book is what the characters are feeling and The marines/covenant point of view. I wouldn't buy one for more than 5 bucks.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

It's ok. It's worth it just because of Yayap.

The Flood definitely wasn't the best book because it wasn't written by the same guy. It is, however, worth the read. It gives a whole lot of back story as to what is going on with the covvies and the marines while MC is gallivanting around Halo. Yayap also provided comic relief.

lol I liked that grunt to.

The flood gives clear to any foggy points in halo the game. If you'r a Halo fan than it's definently worth getting.

OK thanx for the help. I have one last question. Is it possible to get the book offline like in Barnes and Nobles? Shipping and handling costs twice as much money as the actual book.

Don't get it, it's a badly written book, if you played the game already don't get it. The writing style is very cut and dry, and it makes stuff up, and makes it seem all to easy, and......wasted an afternoon of mine. Just read the other two and get another book instead (like LOTR or DaVinci code).

But the grunt was cool.
