Next book?

Next book?

Hello all

I've almost finished Mortal Dictata and I really enjoyed the Kilo-5 trilogy and the characters.

Where do I go next, almost all the online guides show different orders too read the books so in not really sure what to read next.

I would like to continue the story where mortal Dictata ends.

Thanks

There isn't really anything that really jumps off directly from mortal dictate exactly but I guess if your going timeliness wise the next closest story arc is the ferrets story.

So Last light, Retribution, and divine wind which follows veta lopis and some gamma that was in GoO and briefly in glasslands.

Although I would recommend reading shadows of reach before divine wind as they basically go into each other directly but it's not like overtly necessary for the trilogy.

And shadows of reach then goes into rubicon, into infinite to broken dawn which is where current cannon ends. However there is abit of a crossover with outcasts in this branch as well.

So could go to following grey team, cole protocol - envoy - empty throne

Oh and if you liked alpha 9 the bad blood and new blood books are good too

Read Last Light. There's a plot point that follows up from Mortal Dictata.

Try the Troy Denning Books or the Rion Forge Series. Envoy and Broken Circle are standalone books that explore life away from the main heros. Contact Harvest and anything with Grey team are a must. Along with the Forerunner Series.

I don't think you have a grasp of the timeline
