Halo: Contact Harvest

By: Joseph Staten

Narrated by: Holter Graham, Jen Taylor

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

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....

Absolutely Amazing 10/10, would read again

Spoilers

This book really allows you to delve into the backstory and trials of one Avery Johnson. Allowing you too feel more connected to the legendary hero. It also elaborates on one Wallace Jenkins, where he came from, and why he signed up. It also allows you to understand the relationship between him and Johnson letting you recognize that he isn’t just some other marine but like a brother to the Sergeant.

This book tells three stories at once. The rising of Harvest’s Millitia and the Fall of the Planet, an Ungoy Decan and his Huragok friend tried and tested, and finally the Rise of the current three Higherachs and their journey to overthrow their predecessors.
