[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bullheaded I just got the book yesterday and I've read into the fifth chapter and i noticed a jump in the time stamps at the beginning of the chapters from 4 to 5 it goes from Dec 21, 2524 to Dec 21, 2525 and i remembered from the other books that harvest was glassed by late 2525 and first contact with the covenant had already occurred before. So i looked it up in [u]Fall of Reach[/u] on chapter 12 time stamp NOV 27, 2525 the Spartans with Dr Halsey on a UNSC frigate come under fire from a covenant ship and Halsey as well as the rest of the crew members seem to know fully well who and what the covenant is. Also in the next chapter john-117 and the other Spartans in his team receive their Mjolnir mark v armor w/ new energy deflecting shields for their new enemies/covenant so is this be a printing error and [u]Contact Harvest[/u] is set in 2524 and early 2525? p.s.aside from that the book looks great! p.p.s. i think I'm the only one who noticed this in the forum [/quote] I also noticed this as well. Great book none the less and if you haven't read the first Trio of books you can pick those up at borders as well as Nylands Ghosts of Onyx which even further goes into the Human/Covenant war. Thank you bungie for making this -blam!- possible and thank you to the writers for making the halo story almost infinite.
