I have always really appreciated your chronological reading guide lists to L E Modesitt different book series and I was wondering if you would like a suggested chronological reading list to his Sci-Fi books from me? I just wanted to ask as a way of paying it forward to you, but I also know you have read them all already, so wanted to ask first. Have a great weekend. Paul

I love meeting another Modesitt fan, but I don't have a good reading order for them or even remember which titles fit together & some seem to. Lee's Wikipedia page has some helpful lists.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._E._M...
The first 4 Ecolitan novels feature 2 different main characters & I think the 2 omnibus editions put them in proper order. I can't recall if that's published order or not, though. There's a more recent 5th book that goes with the Secession MC, Jimjoy, I believe.
There are 2 Archform & 2 Parafaith books plus 3 Silent Warrior books which are all SF. Several of his standalone SF novels seem to fit into that universe pretty well. There's enough similarities that I thought some went together. You might try asking him on his web site.

He's always been pretty fast to answer & very helpful. Good luck & if you do get a better answer, please let me know.

Jim, the SF nomination page is frozen, what gives? I would like to nominate the following work: Seveneves Neal Stephenson 2015 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29457915-seven-eves?from_search=true&qid=46bQSiqlWc&rank=11 "Seveneves" is firmly in the Neo-Classical SF camp. The whole book is dedicated to tech and it defines the environment of the characters and the unfolding of the plot.
