Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and ending details follow.

Halo: Contact Harvest reveals the state of the Halo universe leading up to Humanity's first devastating contact with the Covenant. The experience will be the start of the Human-Covenant war throught the eyes of the young Staff Sergeant Johnson. Master Chief, any of the Spartans, nor the Arbiterwill bbe in the book. The book will tell how the war began from multiple points of view- human and Covenant alike: the book will look at the Covenant's genocidal fury. The novel will follow the Sergeant's adventures through the vicious civil war that threatened to destroy humanity's growing intersteller empire, even before the Covenant got their chance. The book will also feature: "some major Covenant characters from Halo 2"

Since part of the book is also about the civil war within humanity, it may have something to do with Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE: which took place on Harvest, and also involved Johnson.
