Ranger Intel Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I have read The Fall of Reach, The Flood and First Strike. I'm currently reading Ghosts of Onyx. So far it seems like a great book. After I am going to read Contact Harvest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Intel Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I would have to say I only have one Halo book and one Halo encyclopedia. They're great books. If you have already finished the book I would recommend buying another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShockGazm Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Great book. You should finish it off if you get the chance to. Haha, lost it a while ago. I may eventually buy a Halo book during summer holidays, more time to relax and read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Intel Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Haha, lost it a while ago. I may eventually buy a Halo book during summer holidays, more time to relax and read. True. I recommend starting of with Halo: the Fall of Reach. One of my personal favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockGazm Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 True. I recommend starting of with Halo: the Fall of Reach. One of my personal favorites. That would make sense, haha. I loved the Halo Reach Campaign and reading about The Fall of Reach from where it all began would be a lot more interesting, there's still a lot I don't know about the Halo Universe and a lot I still don't understand.

True. You learn a lot from the books and things make much more sense. I also personally find it all to be very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiceGeek Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 yes great book lot more detailed then I had thought it would be about the A.I.'s and the Covenant >) I agree. This was my first Halo novel (because I waited to find the chronological order list before ordering them) and now I'm up to The Flood (after reading Contact Harvest, The Cole Protocol, and The Fall of Reach. I have really enjoyed the novels, and I really need to work the graphic novels into my reading list. I have also read-by-ear Cryptum and Primordium and will do the same with Silentium here shortly. Primordium, in particular, gave me a shock, but I don't dare tell you why... dG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterChiefMEAN Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I will be listing a complete list of Halo books and related materials along with the accepted sites that are regarded by the Halo fans and community as authorities on information. The encyclopedia is broken up into eleven chapters, which cover everything from a timeline, to the cultures of the universe, to the Human-Covenant War, technology, and weapons. Generally speaking, it's quite in-depth and encompasses most of the content seen up until it's publication. This is a very important point, because this is supposed to be the "Definitive Guide" to all things Halo, except that it's not. In truth, this "definitive" claim became quite false only about a month later with the publication of Halo: Evolutions. When humanity expanded beyond the safety of Earth to new stars and horizons, they never dreamed what dangers they would encounter there. When the alien juggernaut known as the Covenant declared holy war upon the fragile human empire, millions of lives were lost—but, millions of heroes rose to the challenge. In such a far-reaching conflict, not many of the stories of these heroes, both human and alien, have a chance to become legend. This collection holds eleven stories that dive into the depths of the vast Halo universe, not only from the perspective of those who fought and died to save humanity, but also those who vowed to wipe humanity out of existence. HALO: FALL OF REACH! It is a question that man has long asked—are we alone in the universe? This February, the United Nations Space Command learns the answer to that question… and unfortunately, the answer is NO. Catch the beginning of the struggle between Man and Covenant in this epic series based on the novel by Eric Nylund, adapted by Brian Reed, and brought brilliantly to life by Felix Ruiz! Reach has fallen. The Covenant War rages on. Humanity's last hope lies with the crew of the Pillar of Autumn—The indomitable Captain Jacob Keyes, Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson, the AI Cortana, hundreds of fearless Marines . . . and Spartan 117- The Master Chief. Having barely escaped the battle for Reach, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn is forced to make a jump into Slipspace in hopes of evading the vast alien alliance hell-bent on wiping out humanity. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. Reach fell, and when hope seemed lost, humanity stood face-to-face with the possible extinction of all life in the galaxy and lived to tell the tale. But that was just one epic battle, and the war rages on . . . The Covenant shows no mercy as they continue to assault every human world they can find, but in their way lies humanity’s great champion, Spartan-117, the Master Chief. Together with his AI companion Cortana and the last remaining Spartans, the fight continues on two fronts. One takes a crew of Spartans to the charred surface of Reach, the only planet they’ve ever known as home. But beneath the surface, Dr. Halsey has discovered an ancient secret…one that could alter the course of the war. The SPARTAN-II program has gone public. Tales of super-soldiers fending off thousands of Covenant attacks has become the stuff of legend. But just how many Spartans are left? While the Master Chief defends a besieged Earth, and the myriad factions of the Covenant continue their crusade to eliminate humanity, an ultra-secret cell of the Office of Naval Intelligence known as "Section Three" devises a plan to buy the UNSC vital time. They're going to need hundreds of willing soldiers, though...and one more Spartan to get the job done. Planet Onyx is virtually abandoned and the perfect place to set this new plan in motion. When the Master Chief destroys Halo, however, something is triggered deep within Onyx. Action begins to boil and the Ancient Forerunner technology stirs. Armadas of UNSC and Covenant race to claim the Forerunner secrets in order to change the course of the Human-Covenant war. But this reawakened and ancient force may have plans of its own... Halo: Cryptum: Book One of the Forerunner Saga 100,000 years ago, the galaxy was populated by a great variety of beings. But one species--eons beyond all others in both technology and knowledge--achieved dominance. They ruled in peace but met opposition with quick and brutal effectiveness. They were the Forerunners--the keepers of the Mantle, the next stage of life in the Universe’s Living Time. And then they vanished. This is their story. Halo Uprising #1 The Eisner Award-winning team of superscribe Brian Michael Bendis and artist extraordinaire Alex Maleev unleash an epic story of mankind's struggle against the alien threat of the Covenant. Picking up from the conclusion of blockbuster video game Halo 2, the must-read issue reveals how the Master Chief, while onboard a hostile ship headed towards Earth, is battling against Covenant forces!

Halo Wars: Genesis Halo Wars: Genesis is graphic novel that is included in Limited Collector's Edition of the game. The novel centers around the Spirit of Fire on a mission to discover why the Covenant are so interested in the human colony world of Harvest. Halo: Primordium Halo: Primordium is the second novel in The Forerunner Saga by Greg Bear and is the sequel to Halo: Cryptum. It was released on January 3, 2012, with an audio edition released simultaneously. More titles and materials will follow. Imagery and explanation of topic was gathered from these sources: halo.wikia.com readyuplive.com What about Contact Harvest. Wasn't that the book that the Covenant first showed their UGLY Brute faces and almost took out Sgt. Major Johnson. And then there is the Cole Protocol. Both really awseome books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
