Actual timeline would mean Cryptum would be first.

Evolutions would be randomly scattered over the place.

And the games are pretty straightforward, with Halo Wars before Contact Harvest, then Halo: Reach with TFoR, followed by H:CE.

Hang on..

Chronologically
Cryptum
Halo Wars
Contact Harvest
Cole Protocol
Fall of Reach / Halo: Reach
The flood / Halo: CE
First Strike
Halo 2
Halo ODST

Evolutions - a collection of stories mostly during the war, some after



The list including the games, though I'm not too sure about Halo Wars.

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

Chronologically?

Crytum
Primordium
-unknown forerunner novel-
Contact Harvest
Cole Protocol
The Fall of Reach
The Flood
First Strike
Ghosts of Onyx
Glasslands


Randomly seeded throughout the canon: Evolutions


Edit, whoops, looks like 1st reply edited his to chonological. Apologies for unnecessary post OP.

with Halo Wars before Contact Harvest


Halo Wars is set after Contact Harvest. CH is set in 2524/2525, Halo Wars is set in 2531.

Also, TFOR begins in 2535 with the Spartans at Jericho VII, then it jumps back to 2517 (before Contact Harvest) and gradually builds up to 2552.

Personally, I wouldn't reccommend attempting to read chronologically. Start with the first series of linked novels.

- The Fall of Reach
- The Flood
- First Strike
- Ghosts of Onyx
- Glasslands
- 2 unannounced sequels

Then the stand-alones:
- Contact Harvest
- The Cole Protocol
- Evolutions

Then the next series:
- Cryptum
- Primordium
- Final novel in the Forerunner Trilogy.
