Kilchii
Summary
Spring of 1848, somewhere along the San Carlos River, Arizona, Comancheros attack and massacre three families bound for the riches of California. Protected by his mother's body, an infant is the lone survivor. Found by Mescalero Apache, they adopted and later named him Kilchii. Reared by the clan's chief, Sani, he learns the ways of the Apache. When Cochise calls for all the Apache to join him to drive the white-eyes from their land, Sani takes Kilchii, now a young warrior, and a box that contains Kilchii's heritage, to the San Xavier Mission. The Jesuits provide the inquisitive young man, whose Christian name is Rory McCloud, with a classical education. Befriended by the mission's priest, they leave to visit the Santa Fe dioceses. On the journey, they are attacked, but only he survives - wounded and left for dead. A bounty hunter, E.B. Parker, discovers Rory and nurses him back to health. Rory joins E.B. and learns the craft of hunting men along with the skill of firearms. Later, E.B., shot in the back from ambush - survives, but left paralyzed. Rory takes E.B. to Saint Louis to be with his daughter, Lucy. They fall in love and promise to marry, but first, Rory, as Kilchii, must avenge his friend and teacher's death....

Footprints in the Dust
Summary
Following the fortieth anniversary of Apollo 11, as NASA prepares to return astronauts to the moon, Footprints in the Dust offers a thorough, engrossing, and multifaceted account of the Apollo missions. The flight of Apollo 11 was a triumph of human endeavor, persistence, and technology, one of the greatest achievements in human history. This book begins with the mission that sent Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin to the moon, then follows American spaceflight through the harrowing rescue of Apollo 13 before moving on to the successful joint Apollo-Soyuz mission in 1975. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with key figures in the space program, the authors convey the human drama and chart the technological marvels that went into the Apollo missions. They also put the accomplishments of American spaceflight into historical context, examining the competitive space race with the Soviet Union, the roles of politics and personality in launching the mission, and the consequences, practical and profound, of this giant leap for mankind.
