The Fall of Reach
As the bloody Human-Covenant War rages on Halo, the fate of humankind may rest with one warrior, the lone SPARTAN survivor of another legendary battle . . . the desperate, take-no-prisoners struggle that led humanity to Halo--the fall of the planet Reach.

 great booksMay 24, 2010
My son that is 14 years old read these books asap. You couldn't get them away from him. It's been a long time since I've been able to find something he will read. He just loves them. He llikes the Halo games for his X BOX and these corresponded with them. All I can say is ...Great!!!
My son cannot put these books down.Apr 30, 2010
My 11 year old son, who is an avid reader, cannot put these books down. He likes the Halo game but is not a fanatic about them. He says the books are better.
Love emApr 09, 2010
For the love of God, why won't they write more of these. The second novel is written by a different author so not as good as the other two, but I still finished the set in under a week. A must buy for any sci fi enthusiast.
The Halo Saga...Sci-fi Fan will be delightedApr 05, 2010
I'm not an expert critic, I'm not here to critic style of writing or any like that, just the entertainment that you may obtain as a reader and a sci-fi fan.
As a whole, it was a great series, I just could not stop reading and at the end I wanted more, which you will realized their are other books that will follow.
Books #1 and #3 are the best. I found book #2 ok but I got tired reading John-117 shooting and killing covenants and floods, it was like reading the game and not a book, duhhhh!, maybe it's because I've played the game and read the book afterward, I don't know, still, I didn't like it too much. I found author Eric Nylund to be a better witter. He knows how to develop the plot and interlace all elements in the story very nicely. The sci-fi is neat and explained in a simple fashion, making it credible. In summary, you will enjoy this series.
To complete these books I strongly suggest you read HALO: Ghost of Onyx. Apparently their is more: (a) Halo: Contact Harvest and (b) Halo: The Cole Protocol. I have yet to read these.
Have fun Halo fans!

I bought these books for my 13 year old son Logan. We've been looking everywhere and couldn't find them. I loved the fact that I was able to find the books quickly on Amazon plus they were in a gift set and then I also pre ordered the next gift set. My son keeps telling me about the story (like I know what goes on in Halo) but the first book from what I understand is the story of the characters before the first Halo video game. The price was good. You can't put a price value on reading but to see my son reading something he enjoys versus playing video I'm happy.
