the halo novels they have already released are actually pretty sweet: the only bad one was the one covering the first game: cos the felt the need to give you a walkthrough of master-chief going through the game... the "stuff everybody else was up to" is cool.
They've done a good job of creating a very detailed world, with massive level of detail missing from the game itself
