Hi guys, where can I find a list of all the Halo books? In chronological order, i.e. the story in the right order not the date they were released. Thanks in advance as always.

Chronological order:

Cryptum
Contact Harvest
The Cole Protocol
The Fall of Reach
The Flood
First Strike
Ghosts of Onyx

Evolutions
is made up of short stories set around the time 2552 and after. I don't think I left anything out.

Fortune favors the Bold

but its still best to read them in the order they came out. Or else you get into some annoying canon issues and it kinda just ruins the whole experience

My advice, read The fall of Reach, The Flood, First Strike and Ghosts of Onyx first and in that order as they are one connected story arc. The rest are not directly related and can be read at your own leisure.

Yes, some chapters cross over in the timeline but the novels they make no impact on the Fall of Reach. Seperate narratives and characters.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

This is good advice, that's how I read them and it all made sense.

This.

Though, I'm reading it in a very screwed up order. Cole Protocol, Cryptum, and now I'm reading the Fall of Reach and next is The Flood, and I plan to buy Contact Harvest next.
So yay for screwed up order. -/shot-

This is the correct order if you want to read them chronologically. Other members posted a different order that works well too. Its akin to the Chronicles of Narnia at this point. Read them in the order they were written, or chronologically.
