Ganked from la_marquise_de_ and smallship1

2. Janet, Martin, Richard
3. Gabriel de Witt, Conrad Tesdinic, Christopher
4. Pierre Arronax, Ned Land, Consiel
5. Johann Sebastian Bach Smith, Eunice Branca, Jake Salomon

There's a couple I feel that I ought to know, but...

4: 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

6: and 9: I half knew, and the authors have the initials F.P and C.S., but other names made me doubt and check.

Andway, I'll provide three names for a replacement.

John Henry Fernack, Norman Kent, Patricia Holm

4 is 20000 Leagues under the Sea. 2 is the Martian Chronicles. 3 is the Chrestomanci books.

Oh, and Bel, Piotr, Riorc

8) - not "Blast off at Woomera" - has to be one of the later ones, Morrey Kant was the American on the team, wasn't he? I'm too lazy to go look out my books.

I *think* No.10 is one of the Allan Quartermain books of H Rider Haggard. Couldn't say precisely which one, though.

5 is Time Enough for Love, and 8 is the Hugh Walters books -- possibly specifically Blast off at Woomera.

5 is Time Enough for Love, and 8 is the Hugh Walters books -- possibly specifically Blast off at Woomera. Or possibly Voyage to Venus.
