Haha, seriously, every time I read it maybe 5 seconds before you guys post it.

... God damn I love the Halo Universe, I am anxiously anticipating this novel as well.

I have to admit, I am a bit afraid it might turn into another Flood.

@ Shmil

Seeing how I read all four books, I can help you out here. I would say... the first one?

The order goes like this (yes, it is chronological):
1) Fall of Reach (The SPARTAN-II program introduction, First contact with covenant and events just before Halo 1)
2) The Flood (Basically a more fleshed out version of Halo 1)
3) First Strike (Takes Place between Halo 1 and Halo 2)
4) Ghost of Onyx (takes place during Halo 2, but it's a different storyline, as it focuses on the other SPARTAN-IIs (mainly Kurt) and the SPARTAN-IIIs.)

The books, especially Nylund's, are the only thing keeping Halo's plot awesome...

Ghosts of Onyx was definitely the best book in the series.

Really, if you have ever beaten Halo 1, you don't even need to bother reading The Flood. Of course if you are a Halo die-hard then you will read it anyways, but it's not written by Eric and it's really not that good.

You could even pick up the Graphic Novel if you really love Halo. It's filled with sweet artwork and some pretty cool mini-plots.

Awsome! I will probably grab his books even though I am not much of a Halo fan. Just that his mom was my high school english teacher back in senior year.

@5 I too read Joseph Stalin. Maybe I'm just influenced by the AP European History exam that I just finished. Just a thought?

@12

That part of the graphic novel book is drawn by Tsutomo Nihei. Bungie took the right path by giving him a chance to be in the book. But I wish they left him do it in his own style. He doesn't draw dialog in his comics, but what makes him special is his architect background that manifest its self in his stories. For a comic without dialog he is "really" good at drawing action sequences. His most famous work is Blame.
