Book Reviews of Halo: Contact Harvest
Book Review: A different kind of Halo
Summary: 4 Stars
When thinking of all the Halo series the first time author Josheph Staten's Contact Harvest seems like the odd child of the litter. The usual Halo standard it seems centered around an epic war story very heavy on action. This however focuses on a smaller more character driven plot.Although I wasnt enirely suprised. Staten is the author of the scripts for the halo trilogy and knows the characters he created better than any.
Synpothesis
Harvest is an agricultural powerhouse, the furthest colony from earth and a blip on the UNSC's radar. A famailiar face Avery Johnson ( a great sidekick in the games) is sent there to train colonial militia from the widespread threat of the insurgentsies. Soon after arriving there he recieves top secret reports from a superior officer of recent pirating in the nearby space. When it is found to a collection of alien races causing trouble the mission takes a bizzare, for the worse.
Humans are declared unholy and are sought to be eradicated.
Verdict
A nice change in pace from the normalcy of the standard run and gun halo novel. This takes a step back to the beginnng and shows how the war for humanitie's and eventually all organic life in the universe began. It was a fun read that gave great insight across the spectrum of Halo. It is an altogether diffrent style of Halo one that is appreciated by a devouted fan.
