Publisher's Summary

The New York Times best seller - part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series Halo!

It's 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....

got me back into the series

very good pace and thoroughly enjoyable. Now one of my favorite scifi books and possibly the series after this has flared my interest in the rest.

More of a beloved character

Contact Harvest gives a great look into the opening days of the Human-Covenant war. The book gives some great backstory to characters from the games, the best which is the books protagonist.
It's filled with good action as well as character moments, a very worthwhile read or listen for any Halo fan looking for more content outside of the games

A great history of Sergeant Johnson!

A good side by side perspective of Covenant and Human story’s playing out at the same time. No nonsense time difference between and a nice little dive into the Covenant’s government structure.
Easy listen and enjoyable, felt like only a few hours!

10/10 book. Shout out halo plasmaposting. Great story. Gives johnsons “I know what the ladies like” line some context. To sum the book into two words - jimmy rings friend, avenegrojohny violated the brussy

Fantastic performance!

Both voice actors were fantastic. For example, one that really sticks out in my mind, there was a line of dialogue or two where a soilder had mouth gaurd and they made me believe it. Incredibly immersive.

If you are a fan of sc-fi or Halo, I highly recommend it.
