Ghosts of Onyx

Last night I finished the latest Halo book.  I really liked it. Unbeatable odds, man those Spartans sure can take care of business.  I keep wondering if anything in this book is a precursor to what we'll see in the next game, I really hope so. I won't spoil anything by posting it here but there was some really interesting stuff in the book. I guess this book is happening concurrently with the events in Halo 2, so maybe the game will pick up where this book left off. 

The books do a great job of fleshing out the universe and giving you some background on the games.  If you like to read, I'd say give the first one a try at least.  If you don't like to read, then I guess I'd recommend the graphic novel--although there were parts of that I really disliked.
