Find below the published order of the Ryanverse books, and also the storyline order. This is one of the most frequently asked questions asked on the newsgroups.
| Published Order | Storyline Order |
| The Hunt for Red October (HFRO) | Without Remorse |
| Patriot Games (PG) | Patriot Games |
| The Cardinal of the Kremlin (COTK) | The Hunt for Red October |
| Clear and Present Danger (CAPD) | The Cardinal of the Kremlin |
| The Sum of All Fears (SOAF) | Clear and Present Danger |
| Without Remorse (WR) | The Sum of all Fears |
| Debt of Honor (DOH) | Debt of Honor |
| Executive Orders (EO) | Executive Orders |
| Rainbow Six (R6) | Rainbow Six |
| The Bear & The Dragon (TBATD) | The Bear & The Dragon |
It is not necessary to read the novels in the storyline order, for it to make sense. I would however strongly recommend that The Sum of all Fears,Debt of Honor and Executive orders are read in the correct sequence as they in fact form a trilogy, with events strongly linked. Under no circumstances read EO before reading DOH, as it will ruin the ending of DOH.
Red Storm Rising is not a part of the Ryanverse series and so is not featured on this page.
The initials after the Published order books are the abbreviated titles used in the newgroups (I hope I've got them all right).
