Subject: Correct chronological order of the halo books/comics?

Just wondering what the correct order of books are. I've got all the books and so far i've only read the fall of reach and cryptum. I'm wanting to read the others in order in which they happen in the halo canon.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

Books are in this order (not sure of comics)

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

-Evolution (takes place between books since it's made of different stories, so not sure)

It should also be noted that The Fall of Reach spans across the timeline as well. It starts before Contact Harvest and ends pretty much right before where The Flood starts.

Added the Evolution stories to the timeline as well, as far as I could from the top of my head ;)

Also: Ghosts of Onyx also covers quite a large timespan including the books FoR, Flood and FS.

#'s are Evolution stories that could be placed in the timeline by logical thought or by dates given (not all are included!)
*'s are Comics.
