There is a specific reading order, although some are more specific than others.

I'm sure this has come up before, let me see...

Ah, here we go.

Short version:

Quote:
1632
Ring of Fire
1633
1634: The Baltic War

(Somewhere along the way, after you’ve finished 1632, read the stories and articles in the first three paper edition volumes of the Gazette.)

1634: The Ram Rebellion
1634: The Galileo Affair
1634: The Bavarian Crisis

(Somewhere along the way, read the stories and articles in the fourth paper edition volume of the Gazette.)

Ring of Fire II
1635: The Cannon Law
1635: The Dreeson Incident
1635: The Tangled Web

(Somewhere along the way, read the stories in Gazette V.)

1635: The Eastern Front
1636: The Saxon Uprising
And if you enjoy the anthologies, there's also now Gazette VI and also Gazettes 6-40. (The arabic numeral Gazettes are the electronic-only editions.)
