From: Csl Guest <guest%ti-csl@CSNet-Relay> This list was compiled for me by a friend who took a published chronology (by Bradley) and added the newer books in the order that he percieved them from reading them. I can not attest any further to their accuracy or completeness. The chronology of the Darkover books is: Darkover Landfall Stormqueen! Hawkmistress! Two To Conquer The Spell Sword The Shattered Chain Thendara House The Forbidden Tower Star Of Danger The Bloody Sun Winds Of Darkover Heritage Of Hastur Sword Of Aldones / Sharra's Exile (alternate versions of return of Lew Alton The Planet Savers The World Wreckers

[] About that chronology - I just finished re-reading THENDARA HOUSE (it's actually better the second time around, or maybe I was in a different mood), and it seems to me that it comes after THE FORBIDDEN TOWER (maybe - both books are almost simultaneous),not before. Anybody out there want to discuss it? On the topic of THENDARA HOUSE - it struck me as being lopsidedly feminist (for lack of a better word, no flames, please!) when I first read it, but this time around it was OK. Maybe it gets better over the years, or else this time I wasn't quite so put off by a book that had very few sympathetic male characters (and why should it?). Perhaps I've developed a new outlook...
