6.		The Keeper's Son (Josh Thurlow Series #1) from St. Martin's Paperbacks Price: $7.99 Customer Review: Very good first fiction for Hickam of Rocket Boy fame.

9.		Sky of Stone: A Memoir from Dell Price: $7.99 Customer Review: If you have read Rocket Boys, it's imperative you continue with Coalwood Ways and Sky of the Stone.
