I'm attempting to set up navigation withing a Drupal site and am having a bit of trouble.

I'm trying to have a series of pages that each have a set number of sub-pages. These pages will need to link to one another. All pages will contain similar content. For instance:

Page 1 will have sub-pages a, b, c, d, e, and f all with content related to the topic of page 1 Page 2 will have sub-pages a, b, c, d, e, and f with content related to the topic of page 2

I'd like these links to appear in a horizontal nav bar on each page.

Is it possible to accomplish this using the book module? I've also read some information about the taxonomy menu module that sounds promising, but I'm not really sure how that would work.

What route should I look into? Thanks for any input!
