I assume you've opened the chapter files in question and confirmed
they're OK and all the pages are there. 

1) In the book window, select all the files after the first chapter
(i.e., chapters 2 through whatever, plus appendices, index, and anything
else that has continued page numbered). 

2) Right-click the selection and click Numbering. 

3) In the Numbering Properties dialog, click the Page tab. 

4) On the Page tab, select Continue Numbering from Previous Page in
Book, and click Set. 

5) In the book window, click the Update/Generate button and update the
book and all generated lists.

HTH!
