[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] darth_lord_3peo where do you find this book? I had no idea that the halo universe was that in-depth and might have a book, must find, must read.. where can I find this stuff?[/quote] You'ce never heard of the books based on Halo??? wow, oh well So far I believe there are 3 books on the Halo universe: 1. Halo: The Fall of Reach - Takes place BEFORE Halo, decribes the abduction a child named John (who later becomes the Master Cheif) and other children, and their many years of training, becoming Spartans. Also decribes the first encounters of the Convenent and the Battle of Reach (Earth's military planet) when the battle is lost, the Pillar of Autumn flees into Slipspace, and when they exit, they find Halo. 2. Halo: The Flood - Takes place DURING the Halo - Combat Evolved game, describing in detail events that happened, both in the viewpoint of the Master Cheif, and of the Marines. 3. Halo: First Strike - Takes place AFTER Halo and BEFORE Halo 2. After the MC blows up Halo, he finds survivors in an escaped Pelican (including Sgt.Johnson) after that ..........blahblahblahblahblahblahblah............. You can go to http://halosm.bungie.org/story/halostory.timeline.html there it decribes even more, and combines the info from the books and games. Also if you're wondering where to find the books, go to the library, where you can rent books for free =P or buy them at a bookstore or online store. Halo Wars, Halo 3, Halo 2 Vista, HALO the Movie, and Halo unannounced....so much Halo, so little time to keep fans satisfied...... [Edited on 9/29/2006]
