Here lie the events that will change the universe as we know it. With all these issue in mind, I will defend this book vigorously. Dietz had a lot of obstacles to overcome that were different from Nylund. Therefore, even upon rereading, I remain both impressed and delighted with what we were given. The Flood is an event-driven story. Scenes transition from one to another based on when an event starts or ends, as opposed to a character point or development. This is not to say that The Flood is lacking in character. Within chapter one, we are introduced to almost all our main characters, each of them with a different voice than the other. The best indication of this is Lt. There is a tendency in fiction to write every female of an occupation the same way, especially military women. The Flood however creates strong distinctions between McKay and Rawley within their introductory scenes. They both are leaders, in rank and personality. Rawley is the one to make the plan to get out of the Autumn with Pelicans. McKay enters her drop pod last to ensure her men have all made it into theirs. McKay is quick to understand a person and their intentions — the chatter of the medic is to keep her mind off the fallen. This extends to all other characters too, regardless of gender. This makes The Flooddespite being an event-driven story, imbued with a of humanity even in the alien characters. It also makes for strong interactions between the different players in the story as differing personalities compliment or clash. I mentioned the dullness of the action sequences above, and I do Halo: The Flood: The Definitive Edition that is another results of the confines of a media transfer. Normal dialogue in a story, well-written dialogue, does two things. Action-dialogue is the same. When given freedom to do so, Dietz excels at this and it helps that the characters are already so strongly defined. The raid on Alpha Base by the in particular is exquisite. These can range from a joke…. Just getting some Marines home alive — that would be reward enough for her. It works because of, well, the Flood. Silentium and Human Weakness provide the former two respectively, and The Flood provides the third. From a physical standpoint, people are horrified by what could hurt them. A number of my friends squirmed uncomfortably throughout District 9, with the hand-chopping scene causing particular distress for Halo: The Flood: The Definitive Edition of them. The Flood and The Flood is entrenched in these sorts of horrors. This plague, parasite, ancient hunger, changes everything upon its arrival. In fact Genreflecting lists two books in this sub-genre that deal with supernatural plagues — a common thread in SF Horror games in particular. I hold that there are two reasons for expansion into other media. Expanded Universes are good ways to keep fans involved during the hiatus between games or films. And already we have been delightfully speculating on what these mean. Will Buck be in Halo 5? Secondly, Expanded Universes are a good way to introduce new fans to a franchise. Being a franchise built solely on games is certainly a lucrative business. Halo: The Flood: The Definitive Edition it was through this book that I first stepped into the Halo Universe and never looked back. Fall of Reach was almost the story that was, but I chose not to read it because I figured that without playing the games, I would miss the context of the universe and be unable to connect with the story. The Flood gave me similar grounds of interaction as the game fans. While the experience of reading is far different from the experience of playing, I still got to be thrilled by the mystery of Halo and shocked by the horrors of the Flood. I was able to share pieces of my journey with Halo: The Flood: The Definitive Edition brothers, who had played the game and never read Halo: The Flood: The Definitive Edition book. The moment Halo: The Flood: The Definitive Edition started on First Strikethat similar ground was Halo: The Flood: The Definitive Edition. So I treasure this root, this overlap between the games and books, because I got to start my story in the same place as those first players in One of the difficulties encountered Expanded Universes is continuity. With the re-releases of Fall of ReachThe Floodand First StrikeIndustries not only added the Adjuncts with more detailed information, but also edited some outdated information that is no longer applicable to the canon. In Fall of ReachElites are no longer first encountered at the titular planet but are acknowledged to have been a part of military engagements for some time. The Flood takes this one step farther, not only by updating outdated information, but changing a line in order to better connect the universe as a whole. Turn on the stealth generators, check your weapons, and remember this moment. This was the line from the original release of Halo: The Flood: The Definitive Edition novel, and it contradicts no current canon. Battle hymns and poems are mentioned elsewhere in the universe, so there was no need to alter this line to fix the continuity. Yet they did. Here is the reprint:. The notion of Elites having family Sagas etched on keep walls would be introduced five years after the original printing in in Halo: The Flood: The Definitive Edition Cole Protocol. Having an update here in the reprint, shows just how committed Industries is to weaving the Halo universe tightly together. Read it. For the Flood aspect of it, I would recommend The Halo: The Flood: The Definitive Edition by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan as it deals with a vampiric strain unleashed on , and focuses more on the physical horror of the situation.
