Where Can I Find A List Of Memory Man Books In Publication Order?
As a big David Baldacci fan, I've devoured all his series, but piecing together the exact Amos Decker timeline is surprisingly tricky. Need the definitive Memory Man book order for a chronological marathon read.

Honestly, just ask in a dedicated David Baldacci fan group on Facebook or Reddit. Those folks live and breathe this. They'll give you the order, the correct reading experience, and probably recommend which ones are skippable (though opinions vary). Crowdsourcing from an engaged fandom is often faster and more nuanced than a static webpage. Someone will inevitably post a screenshot of their perfectly ordered bookshelf. It's also a good way to find out about the novellas and short stories that aren't always included on commercial sites.

Amos Decker's a legend, but those series order lists are always a mess online. Honestly, your best bet is to go straight to David Baldacci's own website. Publishers usually keep that page super accurate and up to date. It'll have the core 'Memory Man' books plus any short stories or related novellas listed cleanly. I cross-referenced it with my own shelf and it was spot-on. Goodreads lists can be user-edited and sometimes get the spin-offs mixed in weirdly. For a definitive, official order, the author's site is the source I trust the most. Saves a ton of confusion.

You'll want to start with the original title, 'Memory Man'. That's the 2015 launch point. After that, it's 'The Last Mile', then 'The Fix', 'The Fallen', and 'Redemption'. The sixth one is 'Walk the Wire', and 'The 6:20 Man' is a more recent entry, though it ties in with a different protagonist too. The series order is pretty straightforward; it's the timeline that gets fun because of Decker's condition. I'd just avoid any list that includes 'Absolute Power' or 'Wish You Well'—those are totally different Baldacci series. Wiki-type fan sites sometimes mess that part up.

Don't trust random blogs! I made that mistake and read 'Redemption' before 'The Fallen'. The character arcs were totally backwards. A librarian told me to use the ISBN database—WorldCat or something similar. You search for 'Memory Man series' and it lists every title with its original publication date. It's a dry method, but it's factual, not crowd-sourced. Another pro tip: the copyright page inside the actual book lists the publishing history. If you have access to even one physical copy, you can often find the series list there in the front matter. Old-school, but reliable.

Here's the chronological pub order, straight from my notes app: 1. Memory Man, 2. The Last Mile, 3. The Fix, 4. The Fallen, 5. Redemption, 6. Walk the Wire, 7. The 6:20 Man. I think there's a graphic novel adaptation of the first book too, but that's a separate thing. The key is that after 'Redemption', the titles get a bit less formulaic, so it's easier to lose track. Some lists include 'A Minute to Midnight' because it's an FBI thriller, but that's an Atlee Pine book, not Amos Decker. Keep an eye out for that common mix-up.

After my best friend Lily Warren was assaulted, she took her own life.
I was the only person who knew who had done it.
And I was the one who helped cover for him.
When Lily's mother knelt at my feet, begging me to tell the truth, I turned away with a cold face.
When the people in town called me heartless and smashed my door, I let my dog, Buddy, attack them without hesitation.
Ten years later, I was dying.
My long-lost best friend, Claire Sutton, returned as the wealthiest woman in the country. The first thing she did was drag me onto the memory-trial platform normally reserved for death-row prisoners.
"Rachel Vale, you disgusting animal. You protected a rapist. Lily and I were blind to ever call you our friend!
"Lily has been dead for ten years, and you let her attacker walk free for ten years!
"Today, I'm going to use the memory extractor I developed to see exactly who you've been protecting!"
But when the real culprit appeared before everyone, Claire Sutton collapsed on the spot.
She could barely stay on her knees.
He promised forever. Then he forgot he ever loved him.
Alpha Leander Voss had everything: power, wealth, an empire at his fingertips. Until the night he's kidnapped, escapes, and is left for dead along a desolate coast.
When Omega Avelin Mirei rescues the dying stranger, he never imagines the broken man will become his entire world. Renamed Shen Ross, the mysterious Alpha builds a quiet life with Avelin, tender mornings, stolen touches, and a love that feels like destiny.
They marry by the sea.
They promise forever.
But forever shatters the day Avelin's father suffers a heart attack. While Avelin keeps vigil at the hospital, Shen rushes home to gather supplies—and his kidnappers return to finish what they started.
The brutal attack brings everything back.
Shen wakes as Leander Voss: cold CEO and heir to a ruthless empire. He remembers his wealth, his power, his enemies, everything except the year he spent loving Avelin.
The man who promised forever is gone.
Abandoned and pregnant, Avelin raises their son alone in the coastal town where they built their life.
Three years later, desperate for a fresh start, he accepts a position at a prestigious company. Only to discover the CEO he'll be working for is the Alpha who destroyed him.
Leander doesn't recognize the beautiful Omega now working under him. But his body does. An inexplicable pull. A scent that haunts his dreams. A bond his soul remembers even if his mind can't.
As old enemies close in, Leander fights to recover what he's lost. But Avelin has already mourned the man he loved. And some broken vows can't be mended, no matter how desperately the heart remembers what the mind forgot.
Can you fall in love with the same person twice? Can you reclaim a forever you don't remember promising?
Olivia Jamerson spent years stewing in hidden rage for the person behind all her high-school ridicule and embarrassment. That person was none other than Joshua Taylor, son of the football coach and the famed bully of Westminster High. Students feared him, his friends revered him and teachers were sick of him.
Two years after graduation and leaving town, Olivia had changed her whole appearance and character so much that no one could recognize her. Drowning in the sea of New Yorkers, Olivia finally felt that she had left her past behind and become a whole new person.
At least that was the case until she bumped into the unlikeliest person she expected to meet in the big city—her old bully. Despite being annoyingly hotter than she remembered, the only thing that bothered her was that he was disturbingly nice, but worst of all, he did not remember her. Things turn a whole lot crazier when she finds out that Joshua has amnesia and when he starts flirting with her as if they did not have a complicated past.
A big city, sparks and tension, and two people—one with bitter memories of their relationship and one with a blank canvas eager to fill it with potential memories.
Will their tragic past catch up to them and will their horns lock once again? Will Olivia hold on to her grudges and lock him out of her life once again, or will she open her heart to the new and improved Joshua?
My husband, Fabian Hunt, is a neurologist.
To spend the rest of his life with his colleague, Yelena Walker, he's been working day and night in the lab for the last three months. Finally, he succeeds in developing an experimental drug that can erase memories.
I happen to see his tablet one day. He forgets to log out of his account, so I go through his chat history.
Yelena: "Fabe, when can we finally be together without hiding?"
Fabian: "Darling, just wait a little longer. Once I switch Anya's vitamin pills for the experimental drug, she'll lose her memory. After that, she'll ask for a divorce herself, and I won't have to take any blame."
In an instant, I feel a chill run down my spine. So, he's willing to erase my memories of our time together just to get me to leave him.
Since that's the case, I'll give the adulterous pair what they want.
But when I start to forget one anniversary after another, Fabian asks me in a panic, "Anya, how can you forget everything about me?"

Anyone else feel like 'Walk the Wire' had a different vibe? Maybe it was the North Dakota setting. Still, it's book six, so you need the five before it to appreciate how Decker gets there. The order isn't just a list; it's a roadmap of his career. From a freelance consultant to a seasoned FBI asset. You see his reputation grow. Reading it backwards would be like watching a biography in reverse.
I just went through this series last month. The order is exactly as published. 'Memory Man' first, introducing Decker and his tragic backstory. Then 'The Last Mile,' where he helps on a death row case. 'The Fix' has him joining the FBI. 'The Fallen' is a standalone town mystery. 'Redemption' brings back a ghost from his past. 'Walk the Wire' is an oil town thriller. 'Long Shadows' deals with a threat tied to his perfect memory.
It's a satisfying arc. Decker starts as a broken man and gradually finds purpose again. The cases are engaging, but his growth is the hook. Definitely read them in order to experience that full transformation.
If you're listening to the audiobooks, the narrators change slightly, but the order is identical. The experience of hearing Decker's flat, data-driven narration of his own tragic life is something special. Start with 'Memory Man' on audio. The performance adds a layer of melancholy and precision that perfectly captures the character.
I think the confusion stems from some of her early books being reissued with new covers and sometimes even slightly tweaked titles. So a list might show the reissue date, not the original. That's why a source that uses library data, like WorldCat, is more reliable for true first publication.
