It Ain't Homer, But Still Good Reading
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 ...

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. Initially, the books were purchased to satisfy my daughter's disturbing obsession with all things Halo. But as the Halo universe expands with each book, the trilogy makes for an engaging sci-fi reading experience. Since the books are based on a mature-rated game, the books are probably for teenagers, or those with a certain maturity. Being science-fiction makes it easy to reconcile with its mature nature. It's a great way to encourage reading which to me is the bottom line.

Halo by Eric S. Nylund (2003)
As I started reading the 1st thing that came to mind was Starship Troopers. But this is so much more... you have a mixture of Starship Troopers, Battletech & Transformers ... Space Infantry Marines at their best .. doing LRRPs & SF actions (infiltrations/extractions) on the front line of troops or behind enemy lines. Action galore .. reminds of the TV series The Unit ... The use of the Spartan name brings memories of Steven Pressfield book Gates of Fire ... like original Spartans .. Honor, Courage, Duty, Self Sacrifice and love for Country is everything ... you have to love them ... Finished reading Ghost of Onyx yesterday & won did for another 4 books that included Contact Harvest .. will be waiting for it .. plus bought the Graphic novel and comics ,, Waiting for the movies !!!!!!As I started reading the 1st thing that came to mind was Starship Troopers.
