Order of Fifth Millennium Books
The Fifth Millennium is a series of post-apocalyptic fantasy novels by Canadian-American author S.M. Stirling, often with co-author Shirley Meier. Magic and psionics exist, but are not very powerful, and technology is akin to what would have existed in the Middle Ages.
S.M. Stirling began his Fifth Millennium series with Snowbrother. The final original novel in the series was Shadow’s Son by Stirling, Meier and Karen Werhstein (published in 1991). Meier and Wehrstein also wrote spin-off novels in the series in 1991. Below is a list of the Fifth Millennium books in order of when they were first reelased:
