Not so. The timeline is skewed a bit by the whole New Mars plotline (don't you just love relativity :), but sticking with "logical time", the chronological book order is:
The Star Fraction
The Sky Road
The Stone Canal
The Cassini Division
There's no alternative-ness in The Sky Road - it occurs between the time of The Star Fraction (near-ish future)
and the Singularity (Stone Canal / Cassini Division), and retrospectively fills in a bit of
the history of what happened in between the two.
All four are excellent books that I've enthusiastically recommended to anyone who'll listen for ages now. My own favourite is probably The Stone Canal though :)
