This so far is a good book, and I can really see what they aer talking about casue I play the game on multiplayer A LOT. I never play the single player cause I thought it was going to be boring but i never know now. If it has a story line, it might be good! .

I like the book not because i can see thet pictures in my head but I dont have a hard time reading it because other books i need to have a "large" vocabulary to understand it. I know what they are saying in this book, or at least what there trying to say.
He plugs the chip into a small slot in his helmet so Cortana can see what master cheif sees and can talk to him in his battle armor. It is against the rules of the capture or destruction of the ships A.I. Master chief is suppose to keep her away of the covanent hands at all cost so they do not find the grid position of earth.
