1: Concordia by A.A. Nemo Enjoyable and compelling story. Keeps you wondering about where the characters will end up.
These characters all get passing references in other AA stories. And to be honest I could have picked on of the other stories instead of this (Jacob's Granddaughters for example).
2: Dance of a Lifetime by Don Lockwood When the Winter Olympics started, I thought of re-reading this story not watching the games. One of SOLs best.
4: Runaway Train by Jay Cantrell All of Jay's tails are worth a read. The Andy and Regan stories, Brock Miller's sagas, Daze In The Desert or any other. Picked this one, could have picked any of them.
5: St Clair 1: Soldier Girl by Todd_d172 Another excellent series of stories. The main character is my favourite female lead of all the stories I'd read on SOL.
6: Teen Dreams Book 1 by ProfessorC Charming tale of a young boy and his journey to adulthood with his lifelong friend at this side.
7: A Well-Lived Life - Book 1 - Birgit by Michael Loucks The start of the epic journey through Stephen Adam's life. Start here and read them all.
note: I'd stop at the end of AWLL book one. The later books of AWLL2 become way to political and that interferes with the story's progression.
