Win Halo: Contact Harvest

By | November 3, 2007 | Contests |

Halo Just a few days ago, the newest Halo book was released. If you didn’t know, it was written by Joseph Staten. Here are some details about the author, the book, and a way to snag a copy for free!

About the Author: Started with Bungie Studios in 1998, and has since served as a writer and designer for the game Oni (2001) as well as writer and cinematics director for the games Halo (2001), Halo 2 (2004) and Halo 3 (2007), Joseph is also working with Peter Jackson’s newly formed game development studio, Wingnut Interactive, writing and designing an as-of-yet unannounced game set in the Halo universe.

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.

Now, if you paid attention to the title, and the picture, you will notice that I have a copy to give away thanks to the folks at TOR! So, I will choose 1 random comment in a 48 hours, and they will win a copy of the book. The comment needs to be related to the Halo universe – It can be 1 word, it can be a paragraph, or it could be a book! 1 comment per person, best of luck to all!

    The halo books have been great. My favorite was the flood because it really went in to the conflict between the marines and the flood. And i love (spoilers)how jenkins is still a character after hes infected with the flood

    One of the funniest characters alive in the Halo universe. I’m currently reading Ghosts of Onyx right now, and must say that these books are amazing… Good Luck, and thanks for the chance Daking.

  • RoastedVeggies

    My 2 favorite books so far are The Fall Of Reach and First Strike because you find out what really happened to the other spartans and about that space time rift on reach, which really explain a lot in the halo history.

  • Lee

    My favorite book is Ghosts of Onyx.

    The reason Ghosts of Onyx is my favorite book is because it allows you to understand the process of the Sentinels. These “Sentinels” in the book are much different from the ones in the halo games. The ones in the book have 3 booms surrounding a central sphere with an eye that glows a fiery red.

    (SPOILERS) If you’ve ever read the book you would know it was a tough conquest for Kurt and some of the Blue Team members to fight to gain superior Forerunner technology that may change the Human & Covenant skirmish for good.

    (SPOILER) The oe favorite part of this book for me is when Will (A Spartan) does a challenging act of going hand to hand with two Hunters. As the book states in one chapter, the hunters have been seen ripping soldiers in half when in a blood rage. Will died, but gained enough time to have everyone get in the rift to gain technology.

    The fight Will commenced had paused elites watching the battle for they had never seen one lone soldier fight two nearly unstoppable heavy warriors before.

    That is why Ghosts of Onyx is my favoirite book.
