How many circs did 343i break?

I've only read Fall of Reach, Flood, First Strike, and Cryptum. Are any of the other books worth it?

How much glorious pre-Covenant Sangheili society were we shown?

Quite a bit.

It's also rather nice, in the end, the Sangheili spirit was never broken by the Covenant as a small group of free Sangheili survived until 2553 before rejoining the modern Sangheili.

FUCK YEAH SON.

Knew they had something grand before the Covenant mulched it. Gonna read that shit up as soon as I can.

Two favorite parts of the book.

1. They go back to Janjur Qom, and classic San 'Shyuum culture is delved into.

2. In Halo 2 we heard about how the Elite High Council was slaughtered. What they neglected to tell us, is that it was this huge badass standoff between hundreds of Elites and Brutes in Delta Halo's control room.

The final battle was between this one Elite with dual energy swords going at this BAMF of a Brute with a hammer who was Tartarus' right hand man.

Colour me fucking impressed. A Halo novel I've actually wanted to read in a long while.

Also, Tartarus (and other Brutes) like this red drink that's so toxic, it will kill any other species that drinks it.

Well, the Moonbabies technically do have a slightly irridiated planet correct? The nuked themselves back to the stoneage. In a sense, Moonbabies are like the Krogan of the Haloverse.

Not just that but Doisac is host to large jungles. Chances are they have some exotic wildlife and plants. Evolution would make them immune to quite a bit there.

Doisac's a heavy G world. Can't picture Moonbabies swinging through trees. Volcanic plains too. It's gotta fucking suck to fall anywhere on that world.

Not saying they're swinging through trees, but it does have vast jungles.

Nah, Shield World. But it was reassembled in the shape of a Halo interestingly enough.

That sounds like Halo's original idea amidst all of the planning, when it was still called "Red Shift".

*Didn't bother looking at other posts*

Did Guilty Spark appear again, or was hinted at?

He's not in the book. The book takes place in a few distinct years.

Mainly 850 BCE and 2552 CE.

Completely forgot about this book.

Worth buying? I enjoyed Greg Bear's books a hell of a lot. Traviss', not so much.

I'd recommend it. If you didn't like what Traviss did with the Sangheili, you'll like this book a lot. And it also helps explain why the Sangheili act the way they do in K5.
