Publisher Description

The classic full-length novel set in the Halo universe and based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

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....

"Good detail of the early Covenant and Avery Johnson. Love the Sif and Mack bantering. Not so sure the last interaction between Avery and Jilan necessary though. Still a great book!"

    " A fun read and a sort of prequel to Halo and the Master Chief (the main character is Sergeant Johnson). Nothing special, but if you like the Halo universe, it's an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon. "

    " This is probably the best story of all the Halo books. There is an unnecessary sex scene in the end, but the actual romance between the AIs is pretty interesting. "

    " Very dull book. It is probably the worst Halo Book I have read. It is boring and I do not like how the author portrayed one of my favorite characters Sgt. Johnson. I would pass on this book. "

    " Disappointing. Had some very good bits, but someone obviously decided it needed more references to the games at some point and crammed a bunch in. Loved the way the Mack and Sif go down. "
