It's the prestige that makes the illusion.

i just ordered my first Halo book, Halo: the Fall of Reach.
But i want to know the timeline so that i can read this book and other books (when i order them) in the right order.
Does anyone know the halo timeline?
I know this so far Halo: Contact Harvest
Halo: The Fall of Reach
Halo CE during Halo: The Flood
Halo: First Strike
Halo 2

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Contact Harvest
Cole Protocol
The fall of Reach
Halo Reach
Halo CE/ The flood
First Strike
Halo 2
Halo 3
Ghosts of Onyx (This book covers a lot of time, but the end of it is continued in glasslands)
Halo Glasslands

Not too sure where cryptum, evolutions, or Halo wars fit in there, i've never read/played them.

I'm working on a timeline including all media (books, games, comics, shorts etc). Haven't worked on it for a while, and it's not done yet, so there are some elements which are a bit iffy at the moment, but will post it in a while.


EDIT:
this is it. The complete timeline including (nearly) every piece of official Halo canon.
Like I said above: some parts are a bit hard to place. Esspecially some of the stories in Evolutions.

- Headhunters:
should take place somewhere between 2541 and 2551, because they are using prototype VISR equipment, which was first seen being used by ODST's in 2551 (Helljumper). Also: Jonah is part of Beta Company, conscripted in 2539 and having had at least 2 years of training.

- Prototype (Legends):
Hard to place, according to Halopedian sometime between 2548 and 2552. The first one seems most likely to me.

- Midnight at the Heart of Midlothian:
Follows up on Prototype, shortly after that story. So most likely sometime around 2549-2550

- Primordium:
Not out yet, should overlap slightly with Cryptum if I understand correctly.

The rest should be about right, or at least not far off from the actual timeline in the Universe. I used dates from the books, games and comics for this one, added with timelines found on Halopedia and Wikipedia, and some 1+1 logic (like with Headhunters) added on top.
Still: maybe some of the other hardcore members here have a better idea how to place some of the iffy-dates in this timeline.
