Halo: Contact Harvest

A great world-building piece that establishes the whats, hows, and whys of the Halo universe. I grew particularly fond of the inner workings of Covenant society and how they rose to become a galactic, religiously zealot empire. Fortitude and Tranquility's story made for a great addition and led to an unexpected revelation. One gripe I did have was some of the random, unnecessary details thrown into the mix. It's kind of crazy that the book ends with a sex scene.

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.

I started all Halo books in order and enjoyed all so far, but this one, you can skip and not miss anything. I found it hard to read, and the lack of action lost me on many occasions. You come from previous books with Spetans and space battles to that book .... I wish someone had told me to skip it.
