Which order should you listen in?

Almost every book is standalone, so publication order is a preference rather than a requirement — the early ones are widely held to be the strongest, and Killing Floor is still the right starting point. Note the UK/US title split on book four. The Sentinel onward are co-written with Andrew Child; a thirty-first, Chain Reaction, is due in October 2026.
