Editing The Original Series

{{Era|RW}}
'''''The Original Series''''' is the retroactive name given to the original four ''[[Halo]]'' [[Halo novels|novels]]. It consists of ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'' ([[2001]], [[Eric Nylund]]), ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'' ([[2003]], [[William C. Dietz]]), ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'' (2003, Eric Nylund), and ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'' ([[2006]], Eric Nylund).

The series covers the origins of [[SPARTAN-II program]] and [[SPARTAN-III program]], with a particular focus on [[John-117]] and [[Blue Team]]. As the original novels, these books form the groundwork for the majority of ''Halo'' lore released after 2006. These novels also set up the events of the original trilogy of ''Halo'' games, ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Halo 2]]'', and ''[[Halo 3]]''.
