Amitai | 1 comments LE modesitt jr “the ecologic secession“ is listed as book 2 of its series, when the cover actually says it is the culmination of the trilogy. It’s publication date is 1990, while the other book is 1986. The help section said to post something here?

Emma | 397 comments Hi Amitai, thank you for your request.

I am assuming this post is about the Ecolitan Matter series? Please always add a link or ISBN of the books you have a question about so we can make sure we are talking about the same thing.

I believe this series is organized by suggested reading order (or universe chronological order), not by publication dates. From the description of The Ecologic Envoy: "Four hundred years after winning Secession from the Terran Empire, ...", which suggests that it should be read after The Ecologic Secession.

Could you confirm this? I can update it to be publication date instead of reading order, but I want to be sure I have the right information. It would look a little like this afterwards: https://www.goodreads.com/series/5542...
