"What they don't knw Can't hurt Them

Cmon, having a story about Johnson was great. Like n3erdygam3r said this book gave us insight to the meeting of the covenant and personally i think the first contact is pretty damn cool to read about. Also thought that the training and the covenant stories were pretty good, u have to read it a couple times through.
The exact message I was trying to get across. When I started playing Halo at the mere age of seven, I thought Sergeant Johnson was a interesting, tough character. Then as I grew up and the Halo franchise expanded, I bought and loved all the games, but I began to realize that Johnson was the only human character I didn't like anymore despite him being my favorite character when I was a little kid. Compared to some of the other characters that made appearances in the games, like the Arbiter or Captain Keyes, Johnson seemed too much like the stereotypical military gung-ho badass that sorely lacks a deep backstory. The way I see it, Contact Harvest was a beautifully written book. It deepens and expands Johnson's character by a great deal and it also brings out the Jackals as characters, instead of the Humans (and Elites to some extent), which are grossly over-represented in the previous novels.
You my good sir, are my soul-mate.
