Anna Hackett Books in Order

Where to Start Reading Anna Hackett

Anna Hackett is prolific, with over 150 books spanning science fiction romance, romantic suspense, and contemporary billionaire romances. While every single one of her series is designed to be read as a standalone, many books share interconnected universes. If you are brand new to her work, your starting point depends on your preferred genre:

• For Science Fiction Romance: The author officially recommends starting with Marcus, the first book in the action-heavy, post-apocalyptic Hell Squad series. Alternatively, Gladiator (the entry point to the Galactic Gladiators series) offers a spectacular introduction to her space-opera arena stories.
• For Romantic Suspense & Action: Start with Mission: Her Protection, the opening novel of the Team 52 series, which blends black-ops security teams with ancient mystery elements.
• For Contemporary Alpha Heroes: Start with The Investigator, which introduces the high-stakes world of the Norcross Security series.

Chronological & Connected Universe Caveats

Although you can jump into any series without getting lost, reading chronologically or by publication order maximizes the fun, as characters frequently cross paths and cameos are common. The author organizes her bibliography into several primary universes:

• The Hell Squad & Phoenix Adventures Universe: The post-apocalyptic sci-fi romance series Hell Squad (20 books) is set in a world ravaged by alien invaders. Its high-stakes survival stories lay down the fundamental template of her sci-fi romance worlds. The Phoenix Adventures series and The Anomaly Books offer more space-exploration and sci-fi treasure-hunting thrills.
• The Galactic Universe: Galactic Gladiators (12 books) follows abducted human women fighting alongside alien warriors. It spins directly into the sequel series Galactic Gladiators: House of Rone (6 books). It is highly recommended to complete the first 12 books of Galactic Gladiators before reading House of Rone, as the later series picks up directly after the events of the original books.
• The Security & Black Ops Universe: Team 52, Norcross Security, and Sentinel Security are contemporary romantic suspense series focusing on elite teams of protectors, bodyguards, and security specialists. Reading them in order of publication helps you follow the personal arcs of the operatives as they appear in the backgrounds of each other's books.
