No, I borrowed it from a friend.
I liked it when Halo: Evolutions butchered a couple of pre-established events. /sarcasm
Halo was better when it at least feigned believability in the original three novels, but it has always been somewhat whimsical. It's kind of like the original Battlestar Galactica: great until the unicorns.
I actually liked everything up to Contact Harvest. First Strike said that we haven't encountered Brutes yet, and the end of Halo 3 seemed to seal up the fact that Elites started the war. Like you said though, Warsaw, Halo gives no fucks.
The Cole Protocol didn't seem as well written as it should have been. Buckell was just an obscure writer (they way it should be for Cryptum and onwards), but he seemed to refer to several things as if through the eyes of a newly introduced Halo player (i.e., "sticky grenae", humans using terms like "unngoy and kig-yar", etc.).
I have yet to read Glasslands, but I'm going to reserve my judgment on that. It sounds like a good book, though.

Grasslands is nice. Great ending for the next book though.
Glasslands*
Not in Asia.
Never caught that.

Just finished reading it on my Ipad and felt just like the first book to me, was so bored while reading the first half of it as all they did was walk around a "hoop" lost!
Finished it. I went to the Home Depot and bought a twelve foot piece of sheetrock to punch holes into. The only thing I like about the book was Greg Bear's consistancy in butchering everything. Can't wait to find the Librarian and other Forerunners in Halo 4.
I'm going to buy Halo 4 used.
Provided microsoft doesn't jump onto the bandwagon of pass keyes.
