Subject: Needs Insight on the Halo Universe

Alright, so I've been a fan of Halo for 5 years now, & although I knew about the books I've never bothered to read them. I now want to read them, because i'm tired of not knowing what's going on, & would like to gain insight on the Halo Universe. I'm asking what Books do I need to get, & what Order shall I read them?

a book about the forerunners set 10,000 years prior, it is pretty much the main book we have been talking about for months now.

a very good and mind blowing read.

Cryptum is the first of a trilogy of books about the Forerunners. Good read, and it gives some great insights into them.

I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.
--Ralph Ellison

I would read them in the order they came out:

The Fall of Reach
The Flood
First Strike
Ghosts of Onyx
Contact Harvest
Cole Protocol
Evolutions (I & II)
Cryptum

Then read the terminals from Halo 3.

Other sources of canon: The graphic novels, Legends, Dr. Halsey's journal, data pads from Reach

Coming soon: Glasslands, Primordium and CEA terminals
