About the Book: Halo: Contact Harvest by Joseph Staten, Bungie Studios’ lead writer and one of the original creators of the Halo game trilogy, explores humanity’s first contact with the Covenant—a chance encounter on the far-flung colony-world, Harvest. In an exciting break from previous Halo novels, Halo: Contact Harvest unfolds from the perspective of Sergeant Avery Johnson, the Master Chief’s legendary mentor and comrade-in-arms. As humanity begins an epic struggle for its very existence, readers will learn the true motives of the Covenant leadership and gain unprecedented insight into the nature of the god-like aliens known as the Forerunners.
