Scott Westerfeld’s Succession series is a fiction series with three entries, all published in 2003. The series begins with the introductory volume Succession and continues through The Risen Empire and The Killing of Worlds, which wraps up the story.
Both The Risen Empire and The Killing of Worlds came out in the same year, so readers can move through the full series without long waits between installments. For the best experience, start with the first book and read them in published order, since the plot builds across all three volumes.
