Best of a Decent Bunch Advantages: An entertaining read Disadvantages: A weak ending I approached "Homefall", the fourth and final part of Chris Bunch's "The Last Legion" series with a slight feeling of trepidation. Over the previous three books, the Legion has been in the kind of action you would expect an army defending a remote planet vulnerable to attack to be in. In all cases, the books have been thoroughly enjoyable fast paced action novels. However, the end of "Stormforce", the third in the trilogy, didn't exactly build "Homefall" ... ...thinking that they would be veering away from war and into the political side of the galaxy. I wasn't really looking forward to this, as when Bunch dipped a toe into the waters of Musth politics in "Firemask", it took the edge and the pace off the novel. I was worried that the same thing would happen here, but I was swiftly proved wrong.

A brilliant prequel to the Halo game series! Advantages: Great characters, and an exciting read Disadvantages: None, it rocks! ...let alone read!

Halo: The Flood Advantages: A great storyline - follows the game well Disadvantages: A long storyline - follows the game in which we know ...get this book, after reading Halo: The Fall of Reach. It was not being sold anywhere in the UK. Its excitement had died out after me being two years late. So I brought it of eBay. Having read the actual book, I thought it was quite good... but... when I was reading it, I kept on thinking to myself: "Couldn't anyone just play a game and write a book about the game and become a millionaire easily?" Yes, they could. It was annoyed me that the fact that ... ...by its self. So, could Halo: The Flood be useful to Bungie? I think so. Bungie copied some things on Halo: The Flood as well as The Fall of Reach. Like, take the Helljumpers, ODST's, the ability that the Covenant can talk!
