I think you are confusing Serial with Series.

I read many Pern, Miles and other Series, as Serials in the pages of Analog Science Fiction & Science Fact. Those really should be read from Part 1 -> n. (There was always a synopsis at the beginning of later parts. But you will miss subtleties. )

But at The End in the book, 'the tale' has been told.

Almost any 'In Death' book can stand on its own. What is missing, is some of the back story on really, 'Why' some thing 'are'.
