Order of Posleen War Books
The Posleen War series is a series of military science fiction novels by American author John Ringo. The series is also known as the Legacy of the Aldenata series. In 2001, a peaceful Galactic Federation makes contact with the human race, and they are being attacked by aliens known as the Posleen. Galactics are unable to fight back, thus they are requesting aid from the humans. But soon, humans are to find out that the Galactics are not exactly as they seem.
John Ringo began his Posleen War series in 2000 with A Hymn Before Battle. The series is broken into several sub-series, including the main story (A Hymn, Gust Front, When the Devil Dances and Hell’s Faire), the Hedren War (currently just Eye of the Storm), the sidestories (all of the novels co-authored by Tom Kratman), the Cally’s War series (all of the novels Julie Cochrane co-authored). The novel The Hero is a spin-off novel. The series is currently ongoing. Below isa list of John Ringo’s Posleen War books in order of when they were first published:

…except, The Hero has very little to do with anything preceding it.
So I’m guessing I should just read this in the publication order? or read each series and then go back and read the side series and stories? I think I can at least start with “A Hymn Before Battle.”
