Halo: The Fall of Reach
''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' is a military science fiction novel by Eric Nylund, based on the ''Halo'' series of video games, and acts as a prequel to ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the first game in the series. The book was released in October 2001 and is the first ''Halo'' novel. It is set in the fictional ''Halo'' universe, taking place in the 26th century across several planets and locations. The novel details the events which led up to the game and explains the origins of the ''SPARTAN II'' super soldiers, narrating the story of the series protagonist, the Master Chief.
''The Fall of Reach'' was conceived after Nylund had discussed the possibility of a ''Halo'' novel with Microsoft's Franchise Development Group. A "Halo Story Bible" was created to assist Nylund in keeping with ''Halo'' canon. The novel was written in seven weeks, Nylund's shortest writing deadline.
The book was well received by critics who thought it added depth to the plot of the game but the large number of characters was highlighted as a shortcoming. Going on to sell over one million copies, the success of ''The Fall of Reach'' paved the way for further Xbox game novelizations, including another book in the ''Halo'' series. William C. Dietz would write the next book, entitled ''Halo: The Flood''. The book was adapted into a comic series entitled ''Halo: Fall of Reach'' and released in 2010. The book itself was re-released on December 7, 2010 after the comic book adaptation, and contained new content as well as updating both editing mistakes and minor continuity errors.
==Background and writing==
Eric Nylund had discussed the possibility of a ''Halo'' related novel with Eric Trautmann, a member of Microsoft's Franchise Development Group, before ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' was developed but it was postponed due to legal technicalities.〔 Nylund thought positively of the delay as it "gave () a chance to see the game in almost every stage of development before () started writing." He wrote the book based on an outline approved by Bungie and the "Halo Story Bible", a book containing all information on the characters and universe in which ''Halo'' takes place, so that his story would not conflict with other ''Halo'' publications. Nylund found it easier to write with the "Bible" available as the details of the universe he was writing in were already established, only minor alterations were made to fit the novel into the universe.〔 A seven-week deadline was established for Nylund to write the book. According to Trautmann, the book was nearly cancelled because Bungie was opposed to the idea of the Master Chief having a definite backstory. They eventually relented after Trautmann made them the offer that they let the book be completed and published in exchange for he, Matt Soell, and Brannon Boren completing ''Combat Evolveds script, which was still "80 percent" unfinished.
