  • Tie-in novels to the games, and the order below is the order they were published, which is also the order of the games they retell.
  • That is the thing to know: each book follows one game, so the useful question is not where to start but which game you care about — Renaissance is Ezio's, Black Flag is the pirate one, Valhalla the vikings.
  • Nothing carries between them beyond the frame story.
  • Seven of the early novels are credited to Oliver Bowden, which is a house pen name rather than a person, and the later ones are by different writers under their own names, which is why the prose changes so much across the shelf.
