Pretty cool. It's a good book.
Nylund's works actually got me to think critically as a dumb Xbox kid, since he has Halsey/the UNSC/the COG doing fucked up evil shit without shoving it in your face that it is evil. I still remember when it first clicked that the Insurrectionists weren't radicals but were justified since the UNSC is the type of government to nuke cities and kidnap children for experimentation. The books don't come out and make a big deal of it but give you more than enough information to piece it together if you pay attention.

I imagine someone who will go through life mostly content, never experiencing the lowest lows or highest highs that life can offer. Such a person is unlikely to, for example, hire a tutor to teach them physics or visit the boreal forest of Canada. Such a person is very, very unlikely to get malaria or to patent a toy.

Yup, the books properly present that the UNSC is a quasi-posthuman interstellar imperium that was provoking a massive civil war before the covenant showed up.

Fall of Reach is a baller book, but if it's your favorite book as an adult, then I can only imagine a 30 yr skinnyfat basement dweller that hasn't read a book since highschool.

Life is basically over once you're that age desu
Nature didn't make us to mate past our prime (15-25). Everything after that is just you living on borrowed time due to modern times being easy.
You were literally designed to grow up fast, fuck a shit ton, take care of your children during their most vulnerable days and die at the ripe age of 30.

I loved this book. My favorite book based on a game.

>>25082033
After reading some Star Wars books, I think the misconception people have about game books is that they're trash.
They're not nonsensical, they're more doing their own thing in the setting. It's genre fiction for genre sake.
I never bothered finishing it though; but I never bother to finish a bunch of books, so make of that what you will.

Well considering it was the very first literature that led me to philosophy I will always remember Halo: The Fall of Reach fondly.
>Spartans->Greeks etc
>Elites->Samurai->Confucius, Taoism, Zen etc
