Halo - The Fall Of The Reach - Book Review

[MarkTheBoy]

Afternoon all,

 

Its been ages since I read a Sci-fi book and got this one for xmas.

 

Finished reading it this morning and thought I'd post a quick write up.

 

The book is set as a prequel to the xbox series of games and leads up to the moments just before the Pillar of Autumn is attacked at the start of the first game.

 

It begins with a big battle between human & covenant forces then flashes back 25 years to the beginning of the SPARTAN 2 Project where it introduces you to the chief as a boy. It builds a really good background story about the Master Chief and the events leading up to the games.

 

On the whole it is a well written and involving book with some really great battles which are described in a way that allows you to feel part of the action. It could have done with a damn good proof read as there is a smattering of typos and a couple of sections where they have used the same overcomplicated expressions too frequently but if you can let these go and like a good old bit of sci-fi halo action then this will definitely float your boat until the third game arrives.

 

I'd give it 8/10 and have just ordered the other two books that follow in the series and hope they are just as good.

 

Bring on Halo 3!
