This is an interesting book - so first you take a highly successful and innovative computer game series and then create a book which charts the history and major events that relate to or are referred to throughout the franchise.

Now normally this would scream of flagrant exploitation of the original fanbase - however because the story being told and the supporting material so rich you actually feel its more like a glimpse in to a massive science fiction epic where there is still so much more to discover.

And that is where this book succeeds - the artwork is of the same style and format - unlike some other books which try and utilise production materials all the artwork has the same look and feel and to me not only gives a sense of continuity but also the fact who ever put this project together actually believed in it and wanted to create a unique piece of work that could stand up on its own and yet tell the story only hinted at in the games.

Now for a true fan of the franchise I am sure there is very little that is new - however the fact it has all been collected and packaged together is something special. So if you ever wanted to view HALO as more than a series of first person shooters and more of an immersive science fiction saga this book is for you.
