Halo Series Books
Halo Books

Currently there are 5 books. 1. Fall of Reach, 2 The Flood, 3 First Strike, 4 The Ghosts of Onyx, and 5 Contact Harvest. All are around 10 bucks each and can be found just about anywhere books are sold. I got mine from books a million. There's been rumors of another one being written but I haven't found any info on it as of yet. As far as finding them on the net, I'd say your best bet is maybe finding them in a torrent somewhere, where someone scanned it in or something. I don't think they ever made any into an ebook for net based distribution.

Fall of Reach - everything that lead up Halo. The covenants invasion of human controlled space. The start and end on the the Spartan II program to train super soldiers to combat the aliens.

The Flood - Master Chief and a few other Spartans were sent on a secret mission, on a Halcyon class ship chosen by Cortana for said mission to find the Covenants Home Planet. The begging of Halo the game starts after the Pillar of Autumn initiated Cole Protocol and jumped away from any human inhabited space and happened to find the Halo ring.

First Strike - After Halo is destroyed, MC links up with some survivors in space and captures a covenant vessel and heads back to reach. Links up with surviving Spartans on Reach under command of Admiral Danforth Whitcomb and proceeds with mission. They find out that the covenant have found earth and that they are amassing at a certain jump location for refit and refuel. They launch attack on said location destroying most of the covenant fleet and jump to earth.

The Ghosts of Onyx - Talks about a Spartan that was taken and used to start the new Spartan III program and helped train the new Spartans. This one you'll have to read for the description because it takes place away from MC and everyone else the whole time. There are a few chapters about what MC is doing but its mostly about the Spartan III program and all the missions they do.

Contact Harvest - This is about Seargent Avery Johnson and his role before and after the Covenant Invasion. It's about the 1st planet the covenant attack and basically explains the event that started everything. Its about the invasion of Planet Harvest. An agricultural planet used for growing foods for the human colonies. The book starts with Johnson on a mission to stop some terrorists during the Human war "Insurrection".

Sorry I couldn't get more detail on a couple of those, been a long time since I've read em. They are worth the read especially if you want to know what went on behind the games, like how Captain Keyes was captured and what he went through as the Flood blob on the bridge of the Truth and Reconciliation. All of the books go into great detail about the halo universe and when you read them you'll better understand some of the things that happened in the games a lot better. These are by far my favorite books considering I don't like to read me and have a very video game like interactive mind.
