What am I in for?
>>724187032A good book.
A decent holdover until you get to the cole protocol and contact harvest>inb4 contrarians
Reasons to realize the UNSC aren't good guys, they're just the only way for humanity to survive the Covenant. And generally a good all around story, if a bit pulpy.Frankly you can't really go wrong with the Bungie books, they gave a shit back then.
>>724187032better than the game adaptation
A little bit of kidnapping+cloning replacement braindead children. All for the greater good.
>>724187323Cole Train Protocol?
>>724187032
>>724187032i only read this, the flood and first strike, but they form a pretty cool trilogy
>>724187445Apparently bungie didn't work with Nylund on the first book. Nylund was even the one to make ODST's a thing that bungie ended up using later. .
>>724187565I forgot Cole Protocol which goes in Normal.
>>724187032Don’t read this version it’s edited to fit the games. Read the original version.
>>724187565Damn nigga that's a lotta novels
>>724187641He also is the one that came up with the idea that Cortana was made to support the Spartans, chose John due to luck, etc. In the original game, Cortana was just the ships AI.Bungie were a bit all over the place with Cortana, actually. In 3 they lean into the ideas from this book, but then in Reach they sort of walk it back a bit.
