@kainkusanagi, I have Cryptum, but currently I'm reading the Gears of War book series by Karin Traviss over again, currently I'm on Anvil Gate, but I did read the first fifty pages, and its really good, but great review, I love the Fall of Reach
@ShadowXOptics The Flood doesn't get the respect it deserves. Not as good as The Fall of Reach, but for Halo fans it's still worth reading. It's a retelling Halo CE, but you get more perspectives than just the Chief. Yayap, a grunt, is a great character with a funny opinion on the futility of war. One chapter is through the eyes of an infected human, interesting stuff. First Strike takes place between Halo 1 & 2 and it's great. First Strike is better. You won't be thrown off by skipping book 2.
a few years ago a couple went out to dinner. later that night the babysitter called and asked if she could put a sheet over the clown statue in the kids bedroom. the father said "get the kids out of the house and I'll call the police. we don't own a clown statue." it turned out that the clown was a murderer escaped from jail. if you don't repost this message on 10 videos the clown will be in your bedroom tonight at 3am with a chainsaw
what book is the game Halo: Reach based off of? is it the Fall of Reach? because you said fall of reach was about 117, but whats the book that has Carter, Kat, and Noble Six? or was it just made up for the game? thx
@bleujae1 You could say that the game Halo: Reach is a side story to the book Halo: The Fall of Reach. The book is about John 117's life leading up to the fall of reach. The actual battle is how the book ends and John's part is mostly in space. The game takes place during the entire battle and shows mostly the ground warfare. The third book, Halo: First Strike sees John's return to a destroyed planet Reach as he meats up with surviving Spartans and the good doctor.
@Kainkusanagi, thanks man, finally whose read the book thats not under 17! thanks, those kiddos didn't know what was going on, loved the book, loved the review!
johns real name was replaced by john and u kno im right cuz u read the book i was just there to correct u only hasley and johnsen and stuff kno his real name
hey do you know what reading level this is? cuz when i read this in 7th grade i had no clue what was happening lol. and epic video! keep making em. ( i subscribed)
I hope there's a relation to the book and game, cuz wen I got it years ago and now by far one of the best books i've read and only I've read as many times, I wudnt mind a good movie based off of it, in fear it'd ruin the story tho :P
i'm with you. theres no need for multiplayer in my opinion. a game should exist for its story. not its graphics or the fact you can "pwn teh noobz n t-bad de fazez" :rolls eyes: and yes the fall of reach was awesome. lets hope that halo: reach will be just as awesome
@Dzzle117 Yeah, too many people just play the MP and if they do play the Campaign they skip the cut-scenes. It's a shame because the story is really good through the series.
yes im a bit pissed that bungie isnt going to follow the books story at all and just have a bunch of spartan 3s attacking anything they can find on reach. i mean wtf ever happened to spartan 2s defending the generators and mc out on a space op where james gets killed in quite a funny way(james is stupid)
Smart AI's are made from cloned brains. Cortana was born from the cloned brain of Dr. Halsey, but they are far from being the same person. They do share some of the same traits like a protective nature and a willingness to do just about anything to reach their goals. Dr. Halsey's description in the books is nothing like that of Cortana.
Well, now that the premiere was shown and I've finally just finished reading F.o.R, I'm confused now. I was hoping that the ones on the cover would be Chief, Fred, Kelly, and Sam, but it seems many of us were wrong.
@phatmic6922 Ya and I hate Microsoft eternally for that and bungie too just because ms gave the a deadline those lazy sacks of shits leave ms because there lazy and then ms copyrights masterchief so they can't use him ahhhh I wanted a game about the fall of reach so bad because early on they had a pic showing the Spartan 2's training as kids
I think it takes place at the same time as Halo 2. The story pics up right after "First Strike" and it probably ends about the same time as Halo 3 ends.
Would you mind telling me the ending of that novel in a message please? Not the whole thing but a main event that occurs. Because if it's what I think it is then I think I can make a connection to what happens in the legendary ending of Halo 3
Yeah I'm probably thinking the same thing phatmic6922 is. If you don't mind telling me the end of the novel either it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hey guys! Great book review! I couldn't put The Fall of Reach down! I only finished The Flood yesterday though. That one was awesome as well. And some guy named Greg Bear is writing a 3 part series based on the Forerunners...
I can't find the books anywhere. But I know they're excellent novels. But aside from Halo: Reach, will there really be a Halo 4 made by 343 Industries? I've always heard that if there will be one, it will be made by a company called "Gearbox", which I've never heard of.
343 Industries now controls everything Halo related. I'm betting they will develop it in house since they have the talent and they just brought in a specialized 3D engine programmer. If they do use an outside developer it doesn't mater since they will oversee it closely.
Thanks for clearing that up. But I just have one more question, Will the Spartans that everyone's talking about show up in Halo: Reach? Such as Sam, or Linda? I'm having a hard time putting the time-line together.
It's hard to say. The time line fits, but Bungie might go with a story about the second batch of Spartan 2s mentioned in the book. The trailer for Reach mentions Sierra 360 and Sierra 259. Sierra is the code name for Spartans and both those numbers are too high to be from the same group of Spartans as John 117. The trailer also mentions someone or something called "Noble One". It sounds important and it could be the name of a squad of new Spartans.
But about the name "Noble One", it doesn't really sound like a squad name for Spartans. In the trailer, it sounded like a specific Spartan was being called out, probably a special Spartan in my opinion of course. I think if it were a squad, he probably would've said, "Noble Ones" with an "S". but then again it was only a teaser, and you might be right.
You wouldn't refer to a squad in plural. It's a singular unit. Individually they would be plural but as a squad they wouldn't. I was just guessing anyway, for all I know it could be a ship or special kind of new fighter jet/space craft.
There's just so many predictions and thoughts. It's just a year away, but it feels like months. I look forward to the gameplay footage very soon. Hopefully I can find the "Fall of Reach" novel soon, so I can keep myself patient until the video game is released, and I can have more of an idea to what it will be about. But you've given me a lot of ideas, especially with the Noble One suggestion.
Other than a book store I don't know. Amazon is probably your best bet online, but if you want to buy local you'll probably have to check book stores.
dude you are so right i got the first three in the series Fall of Reach,The Flood, and First Strike all i can say is if you love Halo you will lopve these books and ive onlyread the first 5 pages of the book!
I couldn't agree with you more about Halo; the multiplayer is fun, but the campaign and backstory are excellent. I picked up the first 3 books, couldn't put em down, then quickly grabbed the other two. I would truly like to see the Halo universe stick around for a while; even if it's not in the gaming realm.
I wouldn't worry about Halo games going away any time soon. It's branching out into other genres and media. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft Studios was already working on Halo 4 while Bungie is created Halo: Reach and ODST. I also wouldn't be surprised if Halo Chronicles comes out next year and an expansion for Halo Wars gets announced soon.
but the directing manager for bungie and the halo series said that halo 3 odst is the last of the halo trilgoy... but they r making halo reach....im pretty sure that they r going to make games out of the books...but do u seriously think that they r making a halo 4? please reply
Halo 3 ODST was a side story, that's why it has the 3 in it's title. The "Trilogy" is Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3.
Halo Reach can be considered part of the main story, but it is seperat. Bungie knows what they're doing and it will be cannon. I expect it to use the plot from both the books Fall of Reach and First Strike.
As for Halo 4, that's going to be made by 343 Industries which is a Microsoft owned gaming studio build just for Halo and to manage the IP.
i recently bought the 3 bundle of books in the box, and i just started reading The Fall of Reach, only got up to the very start of section 2 cause i started reading it last night. I must say i am very impressed with it and i am really enjoying it, the way the characters develop and show their feelings is really interesting. Can't wait to finish the book and read the other 2.
FINNALY someone agrees with me on Halo. All of my friends yell at me everytime they see all the halo books sitting on my counter or everytime I bring up crap about Halo's story. The universe in Halo is masterfully created, it creates artificial history nearly as well as the star wars series and develops a plot beyond the plot thank u so much
I agree with you. Fall of Reach was a fantastic book. I'm reading it now for the third time. Every time I read the book, it seems to get better and better.
HOWEVER, the book could have been better if John and Kelly had a little fling. Maybe add a little romance into it. Either way, fantastic novel.
Eric Nylund is a great writer. And you said his name right.
There's 6 books out now "The Cole Protocol" came out in Nov. I HAVE THAT BOXSET!!!! XD ,,, John had the hots for kelly, and by the discription in the book.... i would too :]
That's up to you. The Flood is basically the story of Halo Combat Evolved so if you're already played the game you know what to expect. There's plenty in the book that wasn't in the game and a Covenant perspective worth checking out.
I think that Halo: First Strike was a great way to show what happened between Halo Combat Evolved an Halo 2... Too bad there isn't nuch story behind the Heretic's Origins on Threshold...
They explained that "Flash Clones" die very fast. They probably left the clones in their beds and the parents found them dead or sick and dieing in the morning.
It was just to give the parents closure and so they wouldn't go looking for lost children. The whole thing was illegal to begin with.
I forgot which book it was but in one of them a small group of spartans survive and are on what was described as either a halo or the ark. it was ghosts of onxy right?
From what I understood they are inside a compressed subspace bubble. It's like their own personal tiny Forerunner universe. I'm sure the Forerunners added an exit somewhere so I doubt they are trapped forever.
Yh I think thats it, that part of the book is pretty action packed so it was hard to get where they had gone.
I think you are correct, they are in a tiny universe where the forunners could go when they were being overun by flood, obv they took a differant route of using the rings.
thas' what i thought. The Legendary ending on Halo 3 shows that steel bubble floatin' around. I'm guess that's what will come for halo 4. Nice review....lol
It's pretty good. It's basically a novelization of the first game. There are more in the series but I only have the first two a d I hear the third one isn't very good.
I like the prologue cuzz it has a lot of action in it and I also like the part were Johny is sent to the training facility when he was 6 cuzz that part makes me laugh.
And I also got The Cole Protocol but I dont like it that much since it dosent have all that action...
i thought that fall of reach and ghost of onyx were the best 2 books in the series. i find the space combat between human and covenant ships more interesting (even though it is futile). I'd have much preferred to see bungie make a space strategy/ shooter game (like battle stations midway crossed with home world 2...but in a halo genre) rather than halo wars which seemed to show all human units as being superior to there covenant counterparts. which if you look at the books its just not the case
hey i got the package of book 2 and dony you think the cpt. keyes chapters are boring? i finished the book and am reading "the flood" and havent been bored
hay good review I would like to read these books but i cant read very well im guessing there is no audio books but if there is can you point me in the direction of some please

i recently bought the 3 bundle of books in the box, and i just started reading The Fall of Reach, only got up to the very start of section 2 cause i started reading it last night. I must say i am very impressed with it and i am really enjoying it, the way the characters develop and show their feelings is really interesting. Can't wait to finish the book and read the other 2.

FINNALY someone agrees with me on Halo. All of my friends yell at me everytime they see all the halo books sitting on my counter or everytime I bring up crap about Halo's story. The universe in Halo is masterfully created, it creates artificial history nearly as well as the star wars series and develops a plot beyond the plot thank u so much

I agree with you. Fall of Reach was a fantastic book. I'm reading it now for the third time. Every time I read the book, it seems to get better and better.
HOWEVER, the book could have been better if John and Kelly had a little fling. Maybe add a little romance into it. Either way, fantastic novel.
Eric Nylund is a great writer. And you said his name right.

thx
bpark13 2 years ago
should i read them in that order? i have read the fall of reach already so the flood is next?
thanks
FinnKaiden 2 years ago
That's up to you. The Flood is basically the story of Halo Combat Evolved so if you're already played the game you know what to expect. There's plenty in the book that wasn't in the game and a Covenant perspective worth checking out.
kainkusanagi 2 years ago
It has some extra plots added though.
I think that Halo: First Strike was a great way to show what happened between Halo Combat Evolved an Halo 2... Too bad there isn't nuch story behind the Heretic's Origins on Threshold...

what I dont get is why they give the parrents the clones instead of taking the clones
j0shred1 2 years ago
They explained that "Flash Clones" die very fast. They probably left the clones in their beds and the parents found them dead or sick and dieing in the morning.
It was just to give the parents closure and so they wouldn't go looking for lost children. The whole thing was illegal to begin with.
The Spartan's story is a sad one, for everyone.

I forgot which book it was but in one of them a small group of spartans survive and are on what was described as either a halo or the ark. it was ghosts of onxy right?
weedrd 2 years ago
yh its on ghosts of onyx - its sisnt actually specified where they are trapped, personally i think they are just trapped in onyx, the shield world
beeniehonour 2 years ago
From what I understood they are inside a compressed subspace bubble. It's like their own personal tiny Forerunner universe. I'm sure the Forerunners added an exit somewhere so I doubt they are trapped forever.
kainkusanagi 2 years ago
Yh I think thats it, that part of the book is pretty action packed so it was hard to get where they had gone.
I think you are correct, they are in a tiny universe where the forunners could go when they were being overun by flood, obv they took a differant route of using the rings.
Keep cool
beeniehonour 2 years ago
thas' what i thought. The Legendary ending on Halo 3 shows that steel bubble floatin' around. I'm guess that's what will come for halo 4. Nice review....lol

It's pretty good. It's basically a novelization of the first game. There are more in the series but I only have the first two a d I hear the third one isn't very good.
kainkusanagi 2 years ago
I like the prologue cuzz it has a lot of action in it and I also like the part were Johny is sent to the training facility when he was 6 cuzz that part makes me laugh.
And I also got The Cole Protocol but I dont like it that much since it dosent have all that action...

Fall of Reach is still my favorite, but First Strike and Ghosts of Onyx were good reads as well, IMO.

i thought that fall of reach and ghost of onyx were the best 2 books in the series. i find the space combat between human and covenant ships more interesting (even though it is futile). I'd have much preferred to see bungie make a space strategy/ shooter game (like battle stations midway crossed with home world 2...but in a halo genre) rather than halo wars which seemed to show all human units as being superior to there covenant counterparts. which if you look at the books its just not the case
