[QUOTE="Ishamael, post: 2016636, member: 318"] I take it you fellows haven't read the three [i]Halo[/i] novels? They were done by two different authors. The first [i]The Fall of Reach[/i] goes into detail about John (aka. Spartan 117, aka. Master Cheif) and his training. It's is the origin story of the Spartan Project, its members, their training, and describes first contact with the Covenant. Despite the fact that it is a "video game book", it was VERY well written. It's one of my favorite books in fact. Eric Nylund did a very good job with the Halo license. The second book, [i]The Flood[/i] ...sucked. It was by another, very poor, author and was essentially the novelization of the first game. I read a few chaptors and couldn't look passed the terrible writing. Besides, I had played the game, and thus knew the story. I never finished it. The third book, [i]First Strike[/i] was also written by Nylund, who once again did a wonderful job. It covers the time period between the two video games and is very entertaining and suspenseful. After reading the books, I can see a LOT of movie potential, especially if they make the movie based on [i]The Fall of Reach[/i]. [/QUOTE]
