''Halo: First Strike'' clarifies a few plot questions that might have been raised by [[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo]] fans, including exactly what happened to the SPARTAN's on [[Reach]] and also how [[Avery Junior Johnson]] survived the attack of the [[Flood]]. It is written by [[Eric Nylund]], who also wrote [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], and is part of the official Halo canon. This has led to certain inconsistencies in [[Halo 2]].
