After finishing Halo: the Game, it just seemed logical to buy the Halo: the Trilogy! I am very much a fan of the game, and the books do not disappoint, either. The Flood is the second book in the trilogy, authored very well by William Dietz. It basically covers the events that take place during the game, so it should be considered a 'tie-in'. I would suggest that prospective buyers who aren't familiar with Halo might want to play the game through at least once, for maximum enjoyment of the story. It definitely inspired me to buy my own copies!
Well, it's a book, or rather a trilogy of books based on the popular video game about futuristic marines battling alien meanies. There aren't too many ways you can go wrong with a book. It can't break, it can't "not work," so unless it arrives shredded it's going to be a pretty good buy. If you're interested in the Halo games, the books make for facinating reading because they extend the Halo universe and introduces new characters. Even if you're not interested in the games, but love science-fiction, the Halo trilogy may be for you. Halo is a unique story about a mysterious ring in space which poses a threat to the human race. The protagonist, Master Chief, is an über-marine known as a Spartan donning special armor and weapons. The enemy, of course, is a race of aliens called The Covenent. Actually, The Covenent is several races of aliens who love to shoot at humans using all sorts of inventive military technology. The trilogy includes Fall of Reach, The Flood, and First Strike. The first book delves into the history of Spartan troops and the rise of Master Chief through the ranks. The Flood explores the mystery of Halo and intesifies the desperate battles that ensue. First Strike brings everything to a head while managing the not-so-easy task of taking the story to a new level. Your first thought is "Halo without the Halo thing?" In First Strike, it's the characters that carry the story more than the mystery of the Halo. Interestingly, the second book is written by William Dietz, the first and third written by Eric Nylund.Read full review
I have loved everything Halo since I was younger playing the Original on the original Xbox. This is a cool book, I love the extra details given to the original game.

This book is great for the halo fan. I myself am a halo fan and has read every one of the books in the series. William Dietz and Eric Nylund do a superb job of portraying the events in the books. If you just play the games these books are not required to know the storyline but fill you in with some halo stuff you may not know. For somone who just likes to play the game you dont have to have this series of books but for a halo fanatic, its required.
Halo! Great read!
