Using FREETEXTTABLE, you just need to design some algorithm to calculate the merged rank on each joined table result. The example below skews the result towards hits from the book table.

SELECT b.Name, a.Name, bkt.[Rank] + akt.[Rank]/2 AS [Rank]
FROM Book b
INNER JOIN Author a ON b.AuthorID = a.AuthorID
INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(Book, Name, @criteria) bkt ON b.ContentID = bkt.[Key] 
LEFT JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(Author, Name, @criteria) akt ON a.AuthorID = akt.[Key]
ORDER BY [Rank] DESC

Note that I simplified your schema for this example.
