Since this is a question I'm frequently asked and since there are new visitors here all the time, I thought it might be a good idea to put this up again:
Order of the books.
The Cormac series:
1.Gridlinked 2. The Line of Polity 3. Brass Man 4. Polity Agent 5. Line War
The Spatterjay series:
1. The Skinner 2. The Voyage of the Sable Keech 3. Orbus
Stand alones:
Prador Moon – the start of the Prador-human war and set before the above two series.
Shadow of the Scorpion – Cormac’s early years just after the Prador-human war.
Hilldiggers – a novel set after all the above
The Gabble – a collection of stories in the above future
The Engineer ReConditioned – a collection of short stories.
Runcible Tales – six short stories in a chapbook
Cowl – time-travel novel (completely separate from the above)
The Technician – book set after the rebellion on Masada (The Line of Polity)
Good stuff,thanks for that-it seems Fantastic Fiction got it wrong a bit!
ReplyDeleteBTW Neal, I posted a review of Prador Moon on the SFChronicles forum yesterday.
Here's a graphical timeline of Polity books.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's cool Afront - I'll stick that in the next post.
ReplyDeleteMy the way, did you put that together Afront?
ReplyDeleteAnd Africa Zero.
ReplyDeleteNeal, will "The Voyage of the Sable Keech" get a new cover like The Skinner and Orbus? The one with the boat doesn't seem to fit in with the two monsters, stylistically.
