TruSlick87 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Finally finished Fall of Reach...from what I can tell it's Fall of Reach (book), then Halo:CE (game) then first strike (book)...the books are so addictive I can't wait to start the flood (book) I can't help but to piece them all together and finally be caught up! >) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 The Fall of Reach novel and Halo: Reach game were two different aspects of the fight on Reach. The game wasn't based on the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruSlick87 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 so then Reach (game) is the mission when Dr Halsey gives Cortana to Captan Keys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Well you see, Eric Nylund and bungie wrote "The Fall of Reach" and it was made canon by microsoft since at the time, they didn't have any plans for Reach. But when they wanted to go back and make a game, they ignored the book and redid it all, smashing the canon. Also, i don't recommend the Flood, it is terribly written and is essentially Halo CE but through a book's point of view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruSlick87 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I thought something was off...They could easily make them work but still great books, I just started contact harvest, different but so far good... >) That sucks about the flood book I'll see soon enough >) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruSlick87 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yea it pretty much tells you exactly what he looks like and all the others, I really hope they bring some into Halo 4 but I haven't read The Flood yet so I don't know who dies and whos still around to fight...Contact Harvest (book) has a lot about the A.I.s with tons of detail >) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miniamp Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Fall of Reach is by far the best book I have ever read, Sometimes I wish that the games were like the books, they would be so epic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruSlick87 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Fall of Reach is great!...Contact Harvest is proving to be a good book too, a little slow to start but really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruSlick87 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 still reading Contact Harvest I don't want to give any thing away if someone is still behind like me so I'll be back when I'm done or something interesting happens >) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTz Vplus2 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I have to admit i didn't read any of the books. All i know is that in one of the books it's described that the Pillar of Autumn was built in space because it couldn't be ona planet (reason is probably wrong, don't remember exactly) and that that stands in contrast to the Halo Reach campaign because there the Pillar of Autumn is on the planet. In my opinion, that's something pretty major and so it was a major effup on Bungie's part.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruSlick87 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 well apparently they scraped the first book when they decided to make halo reach they could have made it work but they got lazy or something...It's the new age star trek... no trekies just spartans >) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCPO Mayh3m Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I've never read the books, but have been very interested in doing so. Which should I start with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruSlick87 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Contact Harvest...Fall of Reach (nothing to do with the game)...First Strike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruSlick87 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 (if you haven't read Contact Harvest) Contact Harvest is a lot about the A.I. and how they think and work, as well as the Covenant...It's neat to hear all the under workings of all the different groups and, for the Covenant, how they came from different planets, how they fight to stay as a unified nation and are wanting to start peacefully..., for the A.I.'s, all of their multi-functional tasks, from ship A.I. to Harvest A.I. and all the places between as well as the human traits they retain from there hosts...I'm about 3/4s, or more, the way through the book not much fighting but very cool story >) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
