"Lipidleggin'" (included in An Enemy of the State)
An Enemy of the State
Dydeetown World*
The Tery*
Healer I
"To Fill The Sea and Air" (included in Healer)
Healer II
"The Man With The Anteaters" (included in Wheels Within Wheels)
Healer III
"Higher Centers" (included in Wheels Within Wheels)
Wheels within Wheels
"Ratman"(included in An Enemy of the State)
Healer IV
Healer V
This excludes Masque - I had always considered this part of the LaNague series, in a similar way that Dydeetown world is.

All of these little short stories included in other books, how are you supposed to know where to start? It says on the inside front cover of my copy of Implant that Healer was written in '76, then Wheels Within Wheels came out in '78 and An Enemy of the State (the second book in the chronology) wasnt written until '80.
Is An Enemy of the State a prequel to Healer? How can 'Ratman' be a sequel to Wheels Within Wheels if it was published in An Enemy of the State?
Do I start reading them with Healer or An Enemy of the State?
fpw Wrote:[SIZE="3"]Simple Solution: Read AEOTS, WWW, then HEALER.
That list is a chronology that looks confusing because of the sections from Healer spread throughout. Healer covers 1200 years, so that's why it's broken up. I did that for you in The LaNague Chronicles, but you can do it yourself by hopping around in the 3 infrapress editions.[/SIZE]
