Product Description
As the bloody Human-Covenant War rages on Halo, the fate of humankind may rest with one warrior, the lone SPARTAN survivor of another legendary battle . . . the desperate, take-no-prisoners struggle that led humanity to Halo--the fall of the planet Reach. Now, brought to life for the first time, here is the full story of that glorious, doomed conflict.
While the brutal Covenant juggernaut sweeps inexorably through space, intent on wiping out humankind, only one stronghold remains--the planet Reach. Practically on Earth's doorstep, it is the last military fortress to defy the onslaught. But the personnel here have another, higher priority: to prevent the Covenant from discovering the location of Earth.
Outnumbered and outgunned, the soldiers seem to have little chance against the Covenant, but Reach holds a closely guarded secret. It is the training ground for the very first "super soldiers." Code-named SPARTANs, these highly advanced warrior... More >>

The game is was and always will be horrible. The weak story line in the game is shamefull and this sorry book was supposed to fill in all the tremendous gaps in the story. Unfortunatly it leaves much to be desired, Oh well chalk another bad move on Junk-rosoft’s poor attempt to make a system and a game more popular than Resident Evil.

I purchased this book thinking it was a “cheat” to help me get through the levels and found that it’s a story. Not exactly what I had expected. No reflection on the book itself for younger readers but those of us “over 21″ trying to get through the levels of Halo need all the help we can get! This is of no help in this area!

This book sucked. It ruined the whole Halo story for me. A book about dumb bunch of kids running around. I rather watch the little rascals movie again. I recommend that you don’t buy it.

Eric Nylund knows zilch about writing combat. This some of the worst amateur drivel I’ve ever had the misfortune to come across.
It must have been a struggle to write something so flat and uncharasmatic as this. The action reads like it was written for members of the Oprah Book Club or as an after school special.
It’s not good scifi. It’s not good action. It’s not emotionally mature or challenging in any way.
What is most surprising is Nylund’s other books “Signal to Noise” etc. are pretty good. This on the other hand is a car accident with no survivors. There are dozens of fantastic authors writing military scifi. Nylund is not one of them.
Want good miltiary scifi? Try John G Hemry’s Stark series, Ian Douglas’s “Semper Luna” trilogy, Steve Perry’s “Matador” series, Walter Jon Williams “Metropolitan” series, David Weber “Honor Harrington” series, Joe Haldeman’s “Forever Peace” and “Forever War”.

I think Halo is the best designed game ever even better than GTA3 for PS2.
