Halo Novelization A Bestseller

According to Gamerfeed, the latest novel based on the Halo gameworld, called "Halo:The Flood", is a bestseller, cranking it up close to the Top 10 in the 'mass market paperback' category. Do people think that game novelisations, as discussed in this USA Today report, can be worth reading? Marc Laidlaw's CD-ROM novelization, Gadget: The Third Force, is at least one game-related novel I enjoyed a lot.

Advent

[handsomepete]

I was just reading an interview with Orson Scott Card about Advent. It sounds like all he's doing for the game is dialogue, but he's apparently doing companion books to be released alongside the games. I might read that, but I don't know that I'd want to read a novel about Halo. Is this book any good?

Re:Myst - The Book of Atrus

Actually there are three books released. Book of Atrus, Book of Ti'ana (technically a pre-qual), and Book of D'ni.

There is a forth book in the works, but no imformation has been realsed as to a publishing date. I personaly would guess it would co-inside with the release of Uru and/or the Myst mini-series.

Great Books

[OutRigged]

I've read both Halo: The Fall of Reach and it's sequel Halo: The Flood. I've gotta say, both books are great. If you've played Halo, I really suggest reading both of these books, they explain alot of the backstory of Halo, such as how the Spartan's came to be, the discovery of the Covenant, and other cool things you can't find out by simply playin' the game.
