Here is the cover art for the upcoming Halo book – Halo: Contact Harvest

Halo: Contact Harvest will debut in stores on October 2 and is written by Joseph Staten, Bungie Studios’ lead writer and one of the original creators of the Halo game trilogy.

Halo: Contact Harvest reveals the state of the Halo universe leading up to humanity’s devastating first contact with the Covenant – a chance encounter that catapults mankind into a struggle for its very existence. Readers will experience the start of the Human-Covenant war from the perspective of Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson, Master Chief’s legendary confidant and mentor. As readers follow the young Sergeant’s adventures, they will gain terrifying insights into both the Covenant’s genocidal fury and the vicious civil war that threatened to destroy humanity’s fledgling interstellar empire, even before the Covenant got their chance.
