After reading McCaffrey's Pern series in both published and chronological order, I only do published order. As mentioned, even when the author recommended chronological order, there is not only a spoiler, but the air of suspense is gone as well. Watching the action of Captain Kirk and his crew, and then going back to when he first entered Starfleet is far better than the chronological. Why would you care about him, after all? Just another guy entering Starfleet.
