There- a jump to the Lambda Serpentis system to gather tritium gas fr their reactors. And there- another jump to the Hawking system to meet with 3 dozen carriers and effect a transfer of seraph fighters. And there-
Cortana halted all her processes. She directed her full intellect to check and recheck her translation matrix a hundred times.
There was no error
The terminating coordinates for the covenant's impending operation was sol.
The Covenant were heading to Earth

Yes, yet another point that the books are completely erroneous and don't match up well with the game. Stupid ideas like "slippery shields" and "flash freezing". Total ignorance of how zero gravity combat works. Not to mention ideals that are completely conflicting, like how Prophet Ships have no personnel other then the elite bodyguard*. Oh wait, then Halo 2 comes along and shows a single prophet's cruiser having thousands of troops, vehicles, hunters, a scarab... you name it, Regret's ship had it.
Then there's also another piece of Canon. The Halo 2 game manual which refers to the Master Chief as the one remaining Spartan.... and this is after First Strike... so maybe all the other Spartans died on the way to Earth in some freak accident... or one of them is wrong.
* (who... strangely weren'y Honour Guards like they were supposed to be but regular elites)
It wasn't a prophets ship, at the end of the book, First Strike, it shows the prophet of regret talking to tartarus about the Arbiter, if he faith can match his failier for losing the ship. The Elite could of escaped via escape pods that were in a corridor by the bridge.
Master Chief, is the last Spartan because no reference to any other Spartans were made in Halo 2.
Slippery Shields; shiels slipping over shields in slipspace. Sounds reasonable.
Then who eles ship is it, we have a dead lower prophet and a random flagship? Just b/c theres no other spartans in game, doesn't elitminate them from the storyline.
