At present, very little is known about the book. It has been confirmed that, as the title suggests, this is a story of the first contact between the [[UNSC]] and the [[Covenant]]. It has also been confirmed that the novel will not feature any Spartan-IIs, and that the main character will be not the [[Master Chief]] nor [[Kurt]], but [[Staff Sergeant Johnson]]. It has also been hinted that the novel will feature a Covenant subplot, as Staten mentioned that the book will feature "some major Covenant characters from Halo 2." When pressed if he meant the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]], Staten flatly denied the possibility. Many speculate that [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] is meant.
