This book is excellent! I love sci-fi and have always been fascinated by the Halo Universe. I was hesitant about this book because my experience with cross-media adaptations has not been great, but I have real hope for the rest of the series! The book excellently written and really did such a good job of carefully outlining and developing the narratives present in the games WITHOUT stepping on the game play. As impressed as I was by this I was just as equally impressed by the fact that you need very little prior knowledge for this book to drive you into the universe and story of the human/covenant war. It stands on its own and I highly recommend it!
