No, I haven't read the novels, but when playing the games is hard to see them as an ultimate menace to all of the known universe's life. Just a bunch of "facehuggers" and infected bodies are not the ultimate menace the saga tries to use. I hope that in the Halo 4 plot the flood is not used in the same way.
The abscence of the flood is one of the reasons that Halo 3 ODST and Reach are my favourite Halo games.
The games only really skim the surface of Halo's universe; though, I do understand your views of the flood. I've always felt that Bungie never let them reach their full potential. I'm a huge horror fan and find the idea of a parasitic race bent on devouring the galaxy to be truly frightening if put in the right context.
