Just a John!

Harry Al-Shakarchi sent in these tidbits from the recently published Halo prequel novel "Halo: The Fall of Reach":

_______

I received the book yesterday and have read through it a little. I am
enjoying it immensely even if the beginning was a bit slow. Tons of mentions
of MJOLNIR MARK I suits and the "MJOLNIR phase." Also, at one point later in
the book, we learn of The Pillar of Autumn's age. I saw that was skimming
past a few pages... Caught my eye. But I'm not that far yet. It said, if I
remember correctly, that the age of the ship was 43... The current year in
that chapter was between 2525 and 2530.

Oh yeah... Master Chief's real name is "John" I think. He seems to be a very
central character (this is before the SPARTANS get their green MJOLNIR
suits). His code number is 117. :)

Oh, and a AI teacher in a history lesson shows kids a battle where the
Spartans were able and swift killers in a battle at Thermopylae against
Persions.

Oh, one last thing. A Covenant transmission is played: "Your destruction is
the will of the Gods...and we are their instrument." Sound familiar?

Master Chief's real name is "John"?!!!. Better than Bob right? ;-)
