Subject: Halo Lore and Books

Hey guys, I'm new to the whole Halo back story and that kind of 'blam'. But, what books should I get? I've played all the games so now I want to learn more! And, if any books are recommended, where should I get them from? I live in England so is there anywhere specific I should be looking?

-Thanks, iRichee. :)

Bungie.Match.com: Our Johnson knows what the ladies like.

Get and read these borks in this order: Halo": The Fall of Reach; Halo: The Flood; Halo: First Strike; Halo: Ghosts of Onyx; Halo: The Cole Protocol; Halo: Contact Harvest; Halo: Cryptum.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Amazon would probably be the easiest.

I would recommend reading them all. Even the bad ones. Read them in order of release, I'd say

First Strike
Fall of Reach
The Flood
Ghosts of Onyx
Contact Harvest
Cole Protocol
Cryptum

All have at least something to contribute to the story.

Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..

Do not waste your tears, I was not born to watch the world grow dim. Life is not measured in years, but by the deeds of men.

We should know better, because we are better.

I would read the chronologically. The order goes:

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

You can read Cryptum last or first but I recommend reading the Terminals first.

Also, Waterstones and Borders usually have 3 for 2 deals on them.
