It's a good day for Halo fans, folks. Not only did Bungie reveal our Halo 3 Halloween surprise, but the latest novel in the franchise was released today. Titled Contact Harvest, the novel chronicles the life of Avery Johnson, better known as the invincible Sergeant Johnson in the Halo games. In honor of the release, the novel's author (and Grunt voice actor extraordinaire) Joseph Staten has placed the prologue on Bungie.net. Yes, the entire prologue. Head on over to Bungie.net to give it a read. Once you've done that, do your civic duty and buy the full novel at your local bookseller. It's the right thing to do.

[Thanks, Mitchell Dyer]

5. Went to Borders this morning and picked it up after asking for help because they hadn't unpacked them yet. The opening scene was pretty cool, I was still wishing they would have had that weapon in Halo 3...

7. Niiiice. At first I wasn't sure a story about Johnson would be that good, not I know what book I'm buying next.

8. Amazon UK:

"Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."

Where the heck am I supposed to buy it from then? It would either cost a fortune on fast international delivery or take forever to reach here from Amazon US and I can't think of any bookshop here that would sell a videogame novel. Can any fellow UK guys offer any suggestions? I did buy the previous four books from Amazon UK.
