Have You Read The Halo Novels?
By Master Chief
Anyone reading this post has undoubtedly played through all of the Halo video games. If not, then stop reading and play through the trilogy right now. For those who think they’re hardcore Halo fans; just how hardcore are you?
If I say “Halo novels” will you be able to name them all and give a brief synopsis. If not, then here’s your crash course into the literary world of Halo:
Halo: The Fall of Reach: The first ever Halo novel is a prequel to the events that occur before Halo: Combat Evolved. Fall of Reach is the story about thow the SPARTAN project got started, and what the Spartans were initially trained to do.
Halo: The Flood: If you start reading the book and get a sudden feeling of deja vu, don’t worry. The reason not to worry is because this book is prett much a retelling of Halo: Combat Evolved. It is told from a different point of view though.
Halo: First Strike: Halo is a bridging story, that was released to show events that occur between Halo, and Halo 2. The novel is basically about Master Chief and a group of soldiers trying to stop the Covenant from making their way to Earth. Most of the book was written to setup the events that would occur in Halo 2.
Halo: Ghosts Of Onyx: This novel steered away from the previous books that were based on the video games. Instead in Ghosts of Onyx, the story is about side characters that are mentioned in prior books. It focuses on a group of new Spartan warriors. The book takes place mostly on Onyx that hides a secret that both the UNSC and Covenant are after.
Halo: Contact Harvest: Many consider this to be the top Halo novel in the series. It was written by an actual Bungie employee, and like Ghosts of Onyx has a storyline independent of Master Chief. It’s based mostly around Sergeant Johnson who appears in the games and the novels. On the planet Harvest there is a massive battle taking place between the Covenant and USNC. The coolest thing about the book is we get to read the beginnings of the Prophets.
