About this eBook
The New York Times bestseller—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series Halo!
2524. Harvest is a peaceful, prosperous farming colony on the very edge of human-controlled space. But humanity has unknowingly trespassed on holy ground—straying into the path of the aggressive, theocratic empire known as the Covenant. What begins as a chance encounter between an alien privateer and a human freighter soon catapults all of mankind into a struggle for its very existence.
But humanity is also currently locked in a bitter civil war of its own: the Insurrection. With resources strained to the breaking point, the ultimate survival of Harvest’s citizens falls to a squad of battle-weary UNSC Marines and their inexperienced colonial militia trainees. In this unlikely group of heroes, one will stand above the rest—a young Marine staff sergeant named Avery Johnson....

I started all Halo books in order and enjoyed all so far, but this one, you can skip and not miss anything. I found it hard to read, and the lack of action lost me on many occasions. You come from previous books with Spetans and space battles to that book .... I wish someone had told me to skip it.

I've read most of the Halo book and absolutely love them. Contact Harvest stood out tho. It's a great first contact story even if you're not so into Halo and the Spartans and whatnot. This is one of those books that left me a little heartbroken to finish. Out of all the Halo books, This one and Fall of Reach, imo, are the best of them.

Tells you more about Sergeant Johnson. Great insight on what actually happened at harvest and humanity's first contact with the covenant.
