The book "First Strike" is kind of in an alternate universe, i guess would be the est way to explain that. Halo doesn't follow the same story line, for some odd reason. That was just a piece of fiction that wasn't canonized. Reach IS destroyed. The covenant didn't know where earth was, as stated in that book, they just knew where a planet with a forerunner facility was, which happened to be earth. Its not the same story, so, count that out all together.
