Fall of Reach. I tried to read Contact Harvest, but a few chapters into the story I realized one thing: I really don't give a crap about Sargeant Johnson. The only good parts were the Covenant parts and everything else just seemed like work that I had to do to learn more about their races.
Yes, this is totally true and I agree.Radeonx said:
I liked how to really zero'd in on all the other Spartans as well. My favorite was Kelly, the really fast one. I'm hoping the game is like the book.
So I'm not the only one that read the Halo books.
Good, maybe one of you can answer a question for me. In the Halo books, weren't the engineers pacifists? It's been a long time since I read the books, but I don't recall them trying to hurt anybody.

Well, they didn't instantly try to kill Master Chief in "First Strike", so maybe. They always seemed to be more interested in mechanics and repairs than fighting. Is this about that thing in ODST?Internet Kraken said:
Fall of Reach, despite the serious issues with no editor whatsoever.
The general issue with most game novels is that publishers know these things sell largely on brand-name alone, and as such don't put them through an editor (and if they do, the editor barely glances over the fucking thing). I remember that there was one paragraph in Fall of Reach where the author references a character who's not even onboard the dropship three times in a row... -_-;

Jumping on the Fall of Reach bandwagon, I've read them all and that was really the only one i enjoyed fully, The Flood wasn't terrible but 3/4 of the book was something I had already played the only parts I liked were the covenant sections, in fact all of other books with a covenant section I enjoyed just unfortunately the rest pretty much sucked
