Hi there, I need some help with the Halo books.

I have read Contact Harvest, First Strike, the Fall of Reach, and Ghost of Onyx. That's about it, but I would like to reread them in chronological order.

So that is what I need help with. Can anyone tell me what the chronological order of ALL the Halo books are? It would be greatly appreciated. I want to absorb all the Halo knowledge that I can before Halo 4 comes out.

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.

Chronological by time in the universe or by release date?

Chronological would be:

Cryptum
Primordium
Contact Harvest
The Fall of Reach
The Flood
The First Strike
Ghosts of Onyx
And I believe Glasslands.

Feel like I skipped a novel.

Thats what it was! Wonder if OP is reading this.

Yep! Thanks. Yeah I should have mentioned that I wanted them chronologically in terms of the Halo Universe. Thanks guys!

I know Halo Evolutions takes place during various times in the Halo Universe, but when would you guys suggest reading it?

Once you read Ghosts of Onyx I suppose, or else you won't really understand Headhunters and you will be spoiled about The Fall of Reach if you read Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Read up fast.

You want to read Cryptum, Primordium, and Glasslands before Halo 4 comes out. Also, the sequel to Glasslands (name unknown) will also be out before Halo 4, which you should also read. Frankie has clearly stated that you don't need to read the novels to understand the campaign, but it's a lot better experience if you do and it connects in with what's going on.

Yeah I know Frankie said that, that's why I want to read them all. It was my plan.

Lol I forgot I had also read Ghosts of Onyx and the Fall of Reach. I was reading Fall of Reach whenever I couldn't play Halo Reach's campaign. Looking at the fall of Reach from two different perspectives at the same time was kinda cool.
