Internal chronology of the books is well documented -- see
Korval.com. At the bottom, it lists the books in chronological order, as:
- Crystal Soldier
- Crystal Dragon
- Balance of Trade
- Trade Secret
- Local Custom
- Scout’s Progress
- Mouse and Dragon
- Conflict of Honors
- Agent of Change
- Carpe Diem
- Plan B
- Fledgling
- I Dare
- Saltation
- Ghost Ship
- Necessity’s Child
- Dragon Ship
- Dragon in Exile
- The Gathering Edge
- Alliance of Equals
- Neogenesis
Starting with
Necessity's Child, there is some overlap of story lines across the remaining books.
For the short stories, there really isn't a chronological order that I've seen (especially as the timeline for some is rather nebulous.) However, if you work one out, we'd all appreciate it. Currently, all the stories are collected into four omnibus volumes --
A Liaden Universe Constellation #1-4.
