Would someone please explain to me how, where, and when Linda died. I know its took place before Halo CE and she was with Johnson or maybe the Master Chief. Be appreciated if someone refreshed my memory :)

linda john and one other spartan went to the space station while the other 35 went to reach to their deaths. the other spartan's jet pack got hit so it spun him off of the station, linda and opened the space door to let john and johnson off of the station and she got ambushed and burned over 80% of her body. she was dead but she came back. very short very bad explanation but i am typing a paper soooo

Clinically she was dead, somewhere during the events on Reach.

Chief then stored her body in the Autumn, hoping she could be revived.

She's still alive as of Halo 3.

  • 02.29.2012 9:25 PM PDT

She "died" and was later beought back by Dr. Halsey, she is currently trapped inside the dyson sphere. I have not read the new book so I do not know her fate.

if you ever read reach it talks about how they picked the S-II and how they are so strong and about the suits. flood talks about ce and how the marines that are on the ring to, they just about made it off the ring. first strike talks about how they get home from halo. harvest talks about first contact that we had. cole protole talks about grey team i think, ghost of onxy talks about the S-III units.

reach flood and strike are GREAT books. id highly highly suggest reach and strike. it fills all questions you have

Yeah, Ive been meaning to start reading more lately. Just had to think of titles that would interest me. Do they carry Halo books in stores like Target or Books-A-Million? Id rather not order them online. Also, what order do the books go in timeline wise?

yes they do and they arent very pricey either. if you are wanting to stay just with the main story then reach, flood, first strike.

if you find out that you really really enjoy the books and story like i did then you can branch off a little bit more. harvest comes before reach talks about first contact. then there is cole protocol which is about grey team a certain group of spartans. then there is ghost of onxy. protocol and ghost happen some where in the mix.

In the Halo: CE Anniversary, you can see her health monitor with her name on it in the room that overlooks the cryo pod room through the window at the start of the game. The room where you see the first death of the game.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

She never officially died.

She was greviously injured in space station above Reach during the battle, and Chief carried her to a Cryo Pod in the PoA while Linda was in limbo, neither dead nor alive.

She was later revived by Doctor Halsey in First Strike.

An assassin will always carry on, even after death.

This.

Linda is still alive as of Glasslands, which is set after Halo 3(but before the ending with the Arbiter leaving Earth).

There are a few Spartan IIs still alive; Fred, Kelly, Linda, Naoime and John. There may be another one or two I left out.

Linda was even in Halo CE in a cameo appearance. It was suggested it was Linda in the other cryotube in the original Halo CE and was fully confirmed in CEA with her name clearly on the console in the control room on the PoA.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.

Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

If you're just transitioning from the Halo games to the books, look for Halo: Fall of Reach and Halo: First Strike. Halo: The Flood has a lot of mixed reviews, as it is really a retelling of Halo: Combat Evolved. I personally love it, as it gives a lot of side story as to what goes on in between the missions of the first game, but I understand that it isn't everyone's cup of tea.

From there, look into Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Halo: Contact Harvest, and Halo: Cole Protocol. They'd be the next "step," as they build upon a lot of the information established in the previous novels (Note: Very few of the books are actually direct sequels of others)

If you are still digging the Halo novels, you can move on to Halo: Glasslands, which is a sequel to Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. Two other books, Halo: Cryptum and Halo: Primordium (read these in that order) are a lot different than the other books. They establish ancient, ancient history of the Humans, Forerunners (those that built the Halo rings) and the Flood, as well as a little bit on the Covenant. They might not appeal to you, but I could be wrong.

There are a couple of other books too, such as Halo: Evolutions, a collection of short stories set in the Halo-verse. There is also Halo: Helljumper, Halo: Blood Line, Halo: Fall of Reach Boot Camp. Halo the Graphic Novel, and Halo: Uprising, but I haven't gotten the chance to read these yet.

As stated, the books are pretty common, and can be found at any bookstore. The earlier ones are cheap, but Glasslands, Primordium, and possibly Cryptum may be a bit more expensive, since they are newer.

she died because shes not strong enough to be a spartan because shes a female(i think a grunt gave he the two piece special and she was out!)

Factually incorrect and sexist. Well done.

  • 03.01.2012 4:22 PM PDT

not sexist bro girls are just as smart as guys but are no where near as physically strong spartans would most likey play football if not taken away from families. (i do regret the joke about grunts).

Even though in the actual books, both male and female Spartans participated and performed at the same level. And even then, don't underestimate women. I'd love to see your typical guy take down a women form the Marine Corps or Israeli Mossad.

  • 03.01.2012 4:30 PM PDT

i am actually an athlete and would gladly take on your challange even though these books are FICTION thus why the females can compete on same level.if you know about football you know that not just anyone can play it at a high level like college!!!i dont hate girls that would make me a -blam!-gg girls are very very smart just as smart as guys just not on same physical level

Hence why I said IN THE BOOKS. You made the claim female Spartans wouldn't be as good, that's incorrect. And if you were to take on a women from the Israli Special Forces, you'd be taken down quickly. They are trained to take down armed men who are physically superior to them and succeed. They can handle you.

If i remember correctly she was clinnically dead as she took four? plasma shots directly on the Space station on Reach in the mission to destroy the Circumference's Nav data.

page 383 in Fall of Reach states: she was clinically dead-there was no doubt about that.Still if they could get her to a Fleet hospital,they might be able to resuscitate her.It was a long shot-but she was a Spartan.
