Does anyone have a current list of books in the Honorverse (including side books like Crown of Slaves, Storm from the Shadows, Cauldron of Ghosts, etc)?

Thanks zyffyr, the list I was normally keeping tabs on hasn't been updated in awhile.

Just a helpful note: pretty much everyone agrees the best reading order for the Honor Harrington series is by publication date, including the anthologies, and the 2 side series (Shadow of Saganami and Torch books). Enough essential information is in the anthologies, that it is important to read them at the correct places in the series list, even if 1/2 the short stories in them are pretty much tangential to the series. Skipping the anthologies or side series, then reading them later, will leave unresolved plotholes, or leave you wondering where some already established characters and plots materialized from.

This order, of course, does not count the Young Stephanie Harrington or Manticore Ascendant (Travis Long) books as they do not effect the Honor Harrington books directly.

I tend to prefer reading based on when in a series the events happen, which is why I'm looking for rattier paperbacks to rip apart and recompile :lol:

Everything up through MoH is available in .rtf form over on the fifth Imperium page. an editable file is so much easier to rip apart.

To my knowledge, the list at this link
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorverse
under the subtitle Stories listed by internal chronology, is up to date and exhaustive. It seems to be an answer to your question.
