Subject: I just finished Contact Harvest! *Spoilers*

Finally after two months I finished! I loved how most of the book was the anticipation because it kept me reading because I wanted to get to the good part. However, -blam!- the Yanme'e I mean come on, why did they have to go kill Lighter Than Some?!? He and Dadab were some of my favorite characters and I know they felt threatened because he was of more use at repairs and upkeep as them but combat isn't so bad. Even though I kept reading for the battle though the epilogue was my favorite part because it gave us back story to the prophets and will make me enjoy killing them even more when I do playthroughs. Anywho, next book!

"Question. Which Spartan is best?"
"That's a ridiculous question."
"False. Master Chief."
"Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought."
"Spartans shoot Sangheili. Spartans. Sangheili.....Battle Star Galactica."

Great book! I've enjoyed all of the Halo series - some more than others, but enjoyable nonetheless.

I hate how Dadab died, he went down hoping he could kill Tarturus...I would have preferred it if it wasn't Tarturus but another high commanding brute, that way they could have actually killed him and not break any canon. Great book overall. Although I wish to know what a JOTUN looks like.

Same here, I hated Tarturus though but I also didn't understand why Dadab wanted to kill him since Tarturus had saved Lighter Than Some earlier from the Yanme'e.

It was due to the fact that he knew he was lying and wanted to kill him. The traitor. Besides, even if Dadab had saved Lighter Than Some, they wouldn't have escaped, no where to go.

Brutes are very irritating my friend.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

1. the book is hella old so no need for the spoiler alert.

2. why did it take two months? i took me a little under 3 days.

3. Didn't Tarturus forcefully order Lighter than some to make another chopper which is why the drones got jealous and killed him? hence why dadab wanted revenge.

Point made but I didn't know Tarturus had suspected Lighter Than Some but then again, who else would have that technical knowledge of the Luminary.

That is why he didn't want to kill him. He would have killed Dadab much earlier in the book but he was the only one who understood him. Dadab shouldn't have lied about that Oracle...He could have saved billions.

1. There are still a lot of people who haven't read the book.
2. I hate reading and only read it in the bathroom.
3. No, the Yanme'e were jealous because Lighter Than Some was taking their jobs and they were becoming of no use on the cruiser.

Kind as that is you can really take it off, if they haven't read it by no they looked it up on halopedia or aren't going to read it.

But what about people who are new to the Haloverse? Also, I've been playing Halo and been interested in the canon for quite some time, I just disliked reading and kept putting it off but still wanted to read it for myself.
