Mr Black_Hawk

Ive been really interested in reading the books and Im having a hard time deciding which one to read first. So i would like some suggestions on what one to read.

The first one I read was Fall of Reach and I really enjoyed that. However, if you want to go in chronological order like some people do, then Contact Harvest is the way to go.

Both are thoroughly enjoyable so you're not missing out. Oh yeah, I forgot about Cryptum...

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Depends where you want to start. The first book for the Halo timeline would be Cryptum since it's about the Forerunners.

I would advise reading them in the order they came out. I believe that it is the most enjoyable way because it reveals different aspects of the universe in a certain order. So the order they came out would be:

1. The Fall of Reach
2. The Flood (not necessary because it is a retelling of Combat Evolved, even though it does add more to the story)
3. First Strike
4. Ghosts of Onyx
5. Contact Harvest
6. The Cole Protocol
7. Halo Evolutions
8. Halo Cryptum
