Getting to see more detail added to the Battle of Installation 04 was so much fun to read. But as of this moment, The Flood reigns supreme. One day I will reread FOR with the best edition and see if my mind changes. Granted, the reason for this might only be because I read the newer improved edition of this book, while I read the old flawed version of Fall of Reach. I think I might like it more than Fall of Reach. Now that I've finished it, I can say y'all are on crack. This book is not very well received among the fandom. The good thing is the next book in this series ("First Strike") is authored by the guy who wrote "The Fall of Reach" so at least you'll know the series gets right back to where it's supposed to be. I was originally going to give this book half a star, but there were some good tidbits of info scattered in the book like the events of the UNSC people while Master Chief was running around Halo shooting everything that moved. If you play the video game, it's fine, because you're playing the video game, not reading a page of words of what someone did in the video game without any stunning detail. You're not reading a story, just a re-telling of what happens in the video game. That said, it reads like the author played the Xbox game and wrote play-by-play what happened, where he goes, what he shoots, etc. This book was a novelization of the first Halo game (Combat Evolved). This book was such a let down and unworthy of the sequel to "The Fall of Reach". This novel is based on a Mature-rated video game. Now the Master Chief must lead the scattered troops in a brutal race to unravel Halo's darkest mystery-and unleash its greatest source of power. Built by a long-dead race, Halo harbors many deadly secrets, but one overshadows them all. Curiously, the alien soldiers appear to be searching for something hidden on the ring. With the cruiser's artificial intelligence, Cortana, concealed in his battle armor, the Master Chief crash lands on Halo in the midst of a massive Covenant occupation. But the fierce Covenant warriors, the mightiest alien military force known, are not the only peril lying in wait.Īs the fortress world of Reach and its brave defenders were bombarded to rubble, a single cruiser fled the carnage with the battle's only human survivors: Captain Keyes, his crew of a few hundred Marines, and the last remaining SPARTAN super-soldier, the Master Chief. The Human-Covenant War, a desperate struggle for humankind's very survival, has reached its boiling point on the mysterious, ring world called Halo.
