 Two out of three ain't bad December 18, 2007
Book one and three were very enjoyable. Book two (the Flood) was hardly worth the effort
 great books for the scifi and video game lovers December 13, 2007
excellent source of entertainment and knowledge of the Halo universe.
Love the books, love the game. Love the game, love the books. It's that
simple.
Great Read December 12, 2007
I am not even a sci-fi fan, but as a Halo fan these books are excellent. Highly recommended for fellow Halo fans out there.
 all the fun and excitement of halo in literary form December 9, 2007
Fans of Halo, fans of sci-fi, all will enjoy these novels. I am a HUGE Halo fan and these books are awesome. Anyone who enjoys Halo will be able to just jump into these books and get absorbed.
The Fall of Reach: This is the first in the series. It is a prequel to the first game. This book gives you the story of how the spartans, and Master Chief, came to be. You also learn about all the other characters from the game, including Cortana. This is also the story of how the war between humanity and the covenant started. The ending of this book is right where the first game picks up.
The Flood: The second book. This is the story that you go through in the first game. You may know how it ends but that didn't take any of the enjoyment out of the story for me. This also tells you what is going on while Master Chief is running around. Ever wonder where all the marines come from or where they go when Foehammer takes them away? This book explains it all. You also see the fight from the covenant's point of view, much like in Halo 2.
First Strike: The third book. This is a great bridge from Halo 1 to Halo 2. You find out how the Chief gets back. You also find out how SGM Johnson survives, and why he didn't get infected. This also introduces the brutes for the first time. This is a great set up for Halo 2 and, like I said, lets you know what happened between the two games.
This is a great series and even if you haven't played the games you will still enjoy it. It is a great read, written by two talented authors. Two more books have come out and if you like these then check those out as well.
Read them in wrong order! December 8, 2007
The books were enjoyable. Correct order is the Fall of Reach, Flood then First strike. Flood recounted Halo pretty well.
