Set between [[2524]] and [[2525]], ''Contact Harvest'' details the first contact between [[human]]ity and the [[Covenant]] on the [[Outer Colony]] planet of [[Harvest]], as well as the events leading to the beginning of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Staten described the novel as an "ensemble piece", as ''Contact Harvest'' is narrated from the points-of-view of both human and Covenant characters. The novel centers around a young [[UNSC Marine]], Staff Sergeant [[Avery Johnson]]—a popular and major recurring character that appears throughout the ''Halo'' series.<ref name="interview"/> | Set between [[2524]] and [[2525]], ''Contact Harvest'' details the first contact between [[human]]ity and the [[Covenant]] on the [[Outer Colony]] planet of [[Harvest]], as well as the events leading to the beginning of the [[Human-Covenant War]].
