Halo novel Contact Harvest hits bookshelves today - Image 1The novel Halo: Contact Harvest has just been released today under Tor Books, an imprint of sci-fi publisher Tom Doherty Associates, LLC. The work of fiction authored by Joseph Staten, Bungie Studios' lead writer, will take players back through time to the days of humanity's first contact with the zealous Covenant at planet Harvest.

This publishing of Staten's work marks his first official novel since the first day he created the story that became Halo. Halo: Contact Harvest will dive into the human interstellar empire sometime before the Convenant invasion and depict the Halo universe through the eyes of Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson.

Eric Raab, editor at Tor Books, says a bit about the novel:

In the novel, Joseph not only reveals exciting nuances of known events and characters such as Sgt. Johnson. But he also breaks new ground-takes readers on an action-packed journey to a little-known but vital part of the Halo universe: the far-flung, ill-fated word of Harvest.


The paperback will set back interested fans for US$ 14.95, though through the Audio Renaissance Unabridged CD, you could have the piece in digital form for US$ 29.95. The book ships to all major bookstore retail around the "English speaking world."
