Book 19

"Halo: The Flood" by William C. Dietz

And then there was the book based on the game itself, and it was... well... kinda crap. Yes, it was cool to read bits based on the cut-scenes in the game. Yes, it was cool to see a second, parrallel plot that centered around the Marines that survived the crash. Yes, the action scenes were quite well written, but the truth is that there were quite a few areas where it was clunky. Oh, and the Flood weren't very well described. And he repeated imself on more than one ocassion (including once within a single paragraph). And there was some gender confusion amongst the characters (meaning that on of them changed from a boy to a girl a couple of times, not that they were tranvestites). It wasn't a dreadful book, but neither was it particularly good.

Two dead carrier-forms.
