HALO: Original novel series... is it worth it? All 6 books ranked

  Today I am going to go over all 6 of the original Halo Novels: Fall of Reach, The Flood, First Strike, Ghosts of Onyx, Contact Harvest and The Cole Protocol. I will rank and rate each one and rate the full franchise. NOTICE: This post will include some minor spoilers. 6: The Flood by William C. Deitz. (No. 2 in the series) The Flood is good. I like it as a Halo CE fan. However, it's not as good as the other ones. The reason is while it gives us a huge insight on what everyone else on the Halo is doing while John 117 is doing his thing.

HL has a story in the first game that really could be novelized a la The Flood by William C Deitz. The stories scope largens significantly in HL2'S city 17. Half Life has a lot of great supporting characters too! Where could the novel end up in the timeline? During the Black Mesa incident? Before it? Connecting HL1 and HL2? What would it be? I would like a novel starring my favorite sub-Character: Adrian Shepard! They could do a novel about HL1 with view
