Product Description

Synopsis

The official novel of the gargantuan Xbox game hit, HALO. The Human-Covenant War, a desperate struggle for humankind's very survival, has reached its boiling point and an embattled band of human marines, as well as the Master Chief (star of the Fall of Reach), face the ruthless aliens known as the Covenant. The humans and the Covenant have fallen back to Halo, a ringworld thick with alien species & secrets from an ancient civilisation - secrets that may lead to the defeat of the aliens, and salvation for the human race.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Halo: The Flood, 12 May 2003
By A Customer
Halo: The Flood is one of the best books that I have ever read, it links in perfectly with both the game and the first book Halo: The Fall of Reach. The story is based around Master Chief Spartan 117 (less commonly known as John) after he is abruptly woken up on the Pillar of Autumn and is told to evacuate onto the ringworld. The book tells the story in much more detail than you can find actually in the game. If, however, you are more interested in the game it also gives you some useful tactics in combating different areas of the game by describing in detail how John deals with the situation himself. Throughout the book to the very last page you can familiarise youself with the characters in it. Also, as an added extra, it also tells the story from the point of view of different characters and their own various missions ranging from a covenant Spec. ops Elite searching out the Spartan to a Marine that is possessed by the Flood.

Overall, I would highly recommend Halo: The Flood even if you dont usually read books or if indeed you havent played the game Throughout the book to the very last page you can familiarise youself with the characters in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got the Game? This is a MUST!!, 20 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This book, along with 'Halo - The fall of Reach' is a great read for Halo fans. This book is the story of the game, but much more. not only does it follow the Master Chief, but it tells us about Captain Keys and what him and the rest of the Marines are doing during the Master Chiefs missions. It also follows the story from the covenant point of veiw! A great read and will give you a whole new veiw of Halo. If you get this book, I STRONGLY reccommend buying the other book in the series. This two is a great read about the Master Chief, why and how he was trained and how there used to be a whole team of Spartans, and how they came to Halo. Read this second book and you will understand the starting movie of the game a lot better. Brilliant books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review by Jack Hackett (Ads), 17 April 2003
By A Customer
This is one of the best books that I have ever read along with Halo: The Fall of Reach. It really sets the scene, with much more detail in it about Halo and the Flood from all perspectives including human, covenant and the creatures unfortunate enough to be possessed by the Flood. The book tells the story of the game but with an almost 'behind the scenes' style of presentation. If you enjoyed the game, you will definitely love Halo: The Flood.
All in all, buy this book and it'll make you eager to play the game again just to find out more.
