I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.
For reference, I've read TFoR, Flood, First Strike, Cole Protocol, and Ghosts of Onyx.
I didn't like Contact Harvest. I didn't like The Flood much either, but reading The Flood felt necessary since it tied TFoR and First Strike together. Contact Harvest, on the other hand, didn't seem to hold any necessary information on building the story. It felt like a Prequel made just for $***'s and giggles, rather than something that really needed to be made (I use the term 'needed' loosely here).
I read Contact Harvest up to the Chapter where one of the Brutes shot one of the Human ambassadors and a firefight broke out. At that point, I had learned all I wanted from that book. That was how the war started. The rest of it, I'd consider to be nothing more than entertaining filler for anybody who liked both reading and Halo. I don't like reading, but I like Halo enough to push myself through a book 350something page book.
As far as I'm concerned, the Harvest portion of Halo Wars is better than Contact Harvest, but I'm not really justified in saying that because I haven't read the rest of the book. Too lazy to justify my own opinion, I guess.
