First Strike has brilliant plotting, and it impressed me the most because it continues the story from Halo 1's bleak ending where Cortana and MC are left on a lonely ship in space. The encounters with Dr. Halsey, artifacts, planets being glassed, Covenant Engineers, a lot of technical hack wizardry with Cortana and AI programs, all were completely new to me. [spoiler] And it was sad seeing the Spartans die one by one :( [/spoiler]
I haven't yet read all of FoR, so I should do that.
