'''Non Normal situation Checklists'''
In the Normal situation Checks above, there are off nominal sections to deal with non critical procedures.
For time critical procedures that must be performed within 5 minutes, there are the so called Pocket checklists ( Ascent, Orbit and Entry).
They are almost the same.
''Ascent''
The Ascent    PCL    contains    procedures    that    safe    systems  for  continued  flight.    It  also  contains  orbiter systems powerdown procedures.
https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/pdf/366508main_APCL_G_O_1.pdf
''Orbit''
At the initiation of the post insertion phase, the Orbit PCL is utilized.  This PCL contains critical orbiter  systems  malfunction  responses  and  powerdown  procedures.    The  orbit  PCL  often  refers  to  the  orbiter  Malfunction  Procedures  (MAL) Book for detailed troubleshooting.
https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/pdf/359853main_OPCL_G_M_10.pdf
Contigency Deorbit in case of Severe malfunctions in Orbit ( Loss of cooling systems, or massive elec failure,..) that would lead to a fast deorbit.
https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/pdf/359894main_C-DO_G_L_8_P%26I.pdf
''Entry''
The  Entry  PCL  contains  critical  contingency  systems  malfunction  responses  that  allow  safe  continuation  of  the  pre-deorbit  through  early  entry    phases    along    with    orbiter    systems    powerdown procedures.

=== Space Shuttle Books ===
''To Orbit and Back Again''
Like a SCOM, less cryptic, full of anecdotes.
https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9781461409823
''Into to the Black''
Book about STS 1, it reads like a Thriller
https://www.thespacereview.com/article/2982/
''Shuttle Down''
Book about an hypothetical scenario. What if the Shuttle was launched from vandenberg and would have diverted to Easter Island :)
