Aside from creating one of the best video game franchises of all time, the Halo franchise is responsible for a lot of books. Like a Stephen King level quantity of books. More books than there are ships in the UNSC fleet. Okay, maybe not that many. But still, a lot.

Here they all are. Go do your space country proud, Marine. But don’t get too patriotic and think that you can get through all these novels in one go. The Halo books span thousands upon thousands of years. This franchise has more lore than you can shake a Covenant plasma sword at. Pace yourself.
