I personally really enjoyed First Strike, but the very implication ALL that shit happened between the end of CE and Halo 2 is so fucking ridiculous, but I kind of enjoy the absurdity of that too because it reminds me of the Star Wars EU with Shadows of the Empire happening between Episodes V and VI.

First Strike is way worse about that, great book but I can't buy for a second all that shit happened between Halo 1 and 2.
