If you've already blown through the single-player campaign of Halo 3, we can understand if you have a little depression. When you stare into the future of the Halo fiction, all you can see is inky blackness. ... (Yes, and Halo Wars, but play along.) Luckily for you, salvation is coming on Oct. 30 in the form of the novel Halo: Contact Harvest.We know, we're no happier than you are about sullying our hands by touching dead trees than you are. But reseach shows that reading books about video games is a close as you can get to playing video games without electricity. Contact Harvest follows Avery Johnson through the first battle with the Covenant and is written by Joseph Staten, Bungie' s lead writer. It seems like a good purchase if you're looking for a gaming read ... or you win our Legendary Halo 3 Giveaway and want to complete your collection of everything in the world with Halo written on it.
