Editorial Review:
This is how it began... It is the year 2524. Harvest is a peaceful, prosperous farming colony on the very edge of human-controlled space. But we have trespassed on holy ground--strayed into the path of an aggressive alien empire known as the Covenant. What begins as a chance encounter between an alien privateer and a human freighter catapults mankind into a struggle for its very existence. But humanity is also locked in a bitter civil war known as the Insurrection. So the 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 stands above the rest...a young Marine staff sergeant named Avery Johnson.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Definite Winner...
Contact Harvest was surprisingly good. The author thoroughly fleshed out Johnson's character and, like the other novels, added much more depth to the overall Halo storyline. Staten did a great job at describing Humanity's first contact with the Covenant, shedding light on exactly what their motives are, as well as a great deal of their internal politics. A definite 'must read' for anyone interested at all in the Halo story arch.
Rating: - positively EPIC!
This is a great novel in a great series. A must for any Halo fan.
Rating:  - All Johnson, No Chief
I didn't expect to see the Master Chief in this novel at all but I was nevertheless disappointed by his absence. Other small details that didn't accurately align with the games made it lack authenticity. A fun read but not near as good as the books by Eric Nylund.
Rating: - Great book...so far...
It's a good read, though I've only JUST started.
I like it, but then again...I am a Halo fanboy by admission.
Rating: - A very interesting read on how it all started
Contact Harvest is the unofficial 5th book in the Halo Series. It tells us of the very first contact with humanity and the covenant, so fans used to seeing Spartans in every book will be a little disappointed by that fact. However, the story itself does not let down a bit.
Humanity is at war with the Innies (Insurrectionists) who want to rebel against the UNSC governing body. While that is going on, an AWOL marine named Avery Johnson, who has a dubious past defending the UNSC space against ... Read More
