Halo: Contact Harvest

Did anyone else pick up a copy? The copy I aquired was oversized, every place I checked seems to be the same. Does anyone know it they printed the book in the same size as the previous books like Fall or Reach, The Flood, etc.

Are these books actually any good? I can't help but expect them to be boring as hell...not that hell would be boring.

No, it's just like Ghosts of Onyx. The first run will be the large size, and then a couple months down the line they'll put it into regular paper-back format. I haven't picked it up yet, but I plan on it.

And yes, the books are very good. The Flood not so much, because it's basically a retelling of the first Halo game. When it breaks away from the game to focus on the humans stuck on Halo, it's good, but if you've played the game, the parts with Chief certainly aren't terrific. The rest of the books are great, though. The Fall of Reach and First Strike being the best.
