Halo Contact Harvest Prologue

Before I start blogging on this book here is some detail between the last book and this book. The last book, The Fall of Reach, was based just before the story of the video game. Contact Harvest has pretty much no concept of what happens in the video games. This book is based even before The Fall of Reach and this more talks about what happens at Harvest and the story behind Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson, the person from the video game series. Ok with that covered I will start talking about the prologue. It starts off with two four-man squads inside a Hornet flying towards a town, which was said to have Insurrectionist bomb-shop. Avery was one of the squad leaders with another Saff Sergeat as the other. Both Hornets touched down and they enter the Innies building and surcure the area. They find people and the marines interigate them to tell them where the bombs are. They find out it is built into the car tires. They take a sample and then leave on the Hornets. Avery finds a signal from a machine, to find bomb materials, on a near by trucks wheels. They go over there and the machine finds another signal that was pointing to a woman in the coffee shop near the truck. The second group of marines go in, while the woman was in the bathroom, and they grab her purse which was the bomb. The lady comes out and takes a hostage, while everyone is runinng away and the marines, in the shop, cant do anything.Avery has a chance to take out the lady but having a risk of hitting the hostage. He waits to long and the lady blows up the shop.

  1. Sounds like he should have taken the shot, but that just me... this seems like a great way to start off a book.
