Random quote: My pass had disappeared. Not that I believed for a moment that this was an accident; in fact, I had suspected for some time now that the Cosmic Command, obviously no longer able to supervise every assignment on an individual basis when there were literally trillions of matters in its charge, had switched over to a random system. The assumption would be that every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one. A time-consuming procedure, perhaps, but one that would never fail. The Universe itself operated on the same principle. And for an institution as everlasting as the Universe certainly our Building was such an institution the speed at which these meanderings and perturbations took place was of no consequence. - Stanislaw Lem (Memoirs Found in a Bathtub)

I've been working my way through selections available in Audible's new Plus catalog (works a bit like Amazon's Kindle Unlimited). They have several offerings from Asaro's saga. They list both the published order as well as a 'chronological' order for the series (BTW, they list a 15th installment - Undercity which is also listed as #2 in the chronological order).

My question is if there is a suggested reading order (I generally prefer publication order) or if each are largely standalone stories within the Skolian universe?

Location: Great Lakes, USA		I read the Skolian Empire books in publication order, as I was always eagerly awaiting the next one. The Major Bhaajan books can be read separately (so far) as they don't have overlapping characters other than Major Bhaajan who has retired from her duties in the main Skolian books. I don't know that "chronological" order would be better, but I had no problems following the series reading them in publication order.
