We are all going to get banned aren't we?

Does it really matter for the publishing order? and you could google or search this becuase this is asked atleast once a week.

I'll take a stab at it. Someone feel free to correct any mistakes I make.

Chronological Order (Oldest to Most Recent):
Cryptum
Contact Harvest
Cole Protocol
Fall of Reach
The Flood
First Strike
Ghosts of Onyx

However. There are issues with this, as sections of certain books take place during timelines presented in other books. Notable examples of this present themselves within the story lines of The Fall of Reach and The Cole Protocol. Sections of these stories take place concurrently and thus the order presented above is somewhat arbitrary.

There are a few sites on the internet that provide a much more conclusive list of events than what I could possibly give, so I'll simply give you their links instead. Hopefully, these help you in your search for information:

Wikipedia Article on Halo Chronology
Timeline from Halo.Bungie.Org

The problem in listing them in chronological order is that there is a lot of overlap between the book. For example, The Fall of Reach spans a lot of years and almost the entire Human-Covenant conflict. So the events of, The Cole Protocol take place during this other novel.

edit: just saw this....same point I am trying to make.

Including my awesome inclusion of all the Evolution stories, comics etc etc. :P

Come to think of it, I might just make a visual timeline including all the stories etc so it might be clear once and for all, and we can just simply post a single picture instead of having to write it all over and over.
