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.

Can't wait to get my hands on this, really enjoyed all the novels (Except for the Flood obviously, I mean do I really need a breakdown of the first Halo in written form?)

Er... yes. Since the games do a horrendous job of actually explaining the story.
If it wasn't for all these novels and websites no one would have a clue what the frick was going on. It'd just be the generic starship-troopers clone it appears to be in-game.

Not to be a stickler, but wouldn't board and card games be the closest you can get to playing a videogame without electricity? Since, ya know, several board and card games are video games anyways.

I hope he's as good a writer as Eric Nylund. The Halo books he wrote were pretty good.

Actually I'm more interested in the upcoming if not already released Graphic Novel than the novel.

Dear lord, how could anyone read a book based on a VIDEO game? If this is part of your regular reading material, you might as well be illiterate.
