That book sounds both hype and annoying - Returning to Reach is awesome but it'd be better in a game and also, stop telling important plot points outside the games! I hope this 'tech' turns out to be nothing so come Infinite non-readers won't be like "Wtf is this tech? Where'd they get it? They went to Reach? When?" I also hope it's a different Banished crew than the one in Infinite.
It's like Didact, I can't wait for the mess when he returns where everyone has thousands of questions how/when/why and 343 has to explain somehow in a game that he never actually died, he went to a Ring, killed some Spartans, found Chief, had a fight, got a composer dropped onto him and now he's a robot.

In the early days of Halo the books added to the overall story, but they weren't necessary to read. I loved The Fall of Reach, The Flood, and First Strike, but weren't necessary to make the original trilogy make sense.

Same, they were very much complimentary. Telling stories that took place in the past, re-telling stories from the games in greater detail, telling stories from teams far removed from Chief and his conflicts from the games.
Now, every Halo book, and comic that releases seems to hold vital story elements that have important implications for the immediate events of the next game(s). I very strongly dislike this.
