I want to read Gap but...

Post by Prom_STar »

What are the names of all the books in order? I plan to buy them all online (half.com is the greatest place to buy books ever), so I'll need to know what names to look up. Thanks in advance.

Good luck, Hope you enjoy them... and that you have an easier time ordering them than I did... I ordered all of them except the first at once... and they arrived at different times.. For example, I got the last book first. Bah.

You'll love them, and don't let the more... brutal aspects of the first books stop you from reading them; the last four are amazing. :D

I've just started Chaos and Order. The Gap series is very impressive, and quite gruelling (in a good way).

I read the Gap after both Chronicles, and thought it was even better than those. (Although now I've just reread the entire chronicles before Runes I may have to re-assess that - a Gap re-read may also be in order.)


The whole Billingate stuff and the book after that I enjoyed most...I can't remember many books that actually kept me up at night like those did.

The Gap series is probably the best SF I have ever read, alongside Dune

I am re-reading the Gap books at the moment, just started actually. I haven't read them since they originally came out, so now that my TC re- read is over I really have to do the gap again. I really enjoyed them the first time but there was time waiting between each book, now I will be able to read them one after the other. My other reason to re-read is that when I am in the gap series discussion I find that I don't remember much. Almost finished 'The Real Story' and I am really enjoying it.

Me too! I got four volumes all at once, but was missing "Chaos" and refused to start until I had all five. Then I did my 'post-Christmas readathon' and did all five books in four days (yes, I read fast...but that's about all I did for four days!)

I took that "Gap" quiz in that other topic - I got 10/10 on both quizzes...some people say that if you read fast, you miss stuff. Guess I'm an exception to that rule! Or I'm anal about detail... :lol:

So, I now own all five Gap books and I'm 100 pages into Forbidden Knowledge. I knew Donaldson was good from the Covenant, but holy balls I had no idea he was this good!
I cannot wait to read all the rest of these books.

I've never read the Gap series.
I actually picked some of the books up once but couldn't figure out which book was first in the series (no, I'm not stupid. The books really weren't labeled in anyway either on the cover or on the inside. This was way back when they first came out)

Can someone give me the premise or synopses without giving the story away?
