I have recently purchased the Halo novels and something has come to my attention that i am wandering may be a misprint, and i am merely trying to put my curiosity to one side......
I have noticed at the start of each chapter there is a date, e.g 17 aug 2542.
My question is. The Fall Of Reach according to the book takes place at 0637 hours, august 30, 2542.. How does Reach fall at this date and time when the Game Halo combat evolved takes place ten years later? On this dating Cortana would have already lived her seven year life cyle and would not be able to assist MC on the Halo ring... At first i thought it to be a reconfiguration of dates due to the emergency slip space jump spoke of in both game and book, but after re-reading the epilogue the Pillar Of Autumn arives at Halo a mere ten minutes later than the above stated date.... If this is a misprint in the book i apologise for wasting anyones time. I just wanted it clearing up for my own enjoyment....
