Placeholder

The Royal Mess by MaryJanice Davidson and the previous two in this series, The Royal Treatment and The Royal Pain, are set in an alternate-history Alaska. They are fun, quick-read romances.

The Big Both Ways by John Straley

by H. Paul Jeffers

byBrian Garfield

Two excellent books with a military connection about Alaska. The Thousand-Mile War is the definitive book about the Aleutian Islands Campaign in WWII, and the only occupation of US territory by Japanese forces; and Burning Cold is about the burning and sinking of the cruise ship Prinsendam in the Gulf of Alaska in the early 80s, and the US Coast Guard's miraculous rescue of over three hundred passengers without any loss of life - a rescue I was involved in while serving in the CG at CGAirSta Kodiak, AK.

Two Cabins, One Lake by Shaye Marlow

Proximity Factor

I read a lot about Alaska. The books that I have read are too numerous to list here. For historical non-fiction, WWII offers many publications related to the battles for Attu and the Air Force attacks on the Kuril Islands. Dana Stabenow has an entire series of mysteries involving a Native American detective named Kate Shugak. There is so much to read.

Before I Let Go by Marieke Nijkamp.
Sucktown, Alaska by Craig Dirkes.
Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube: Chasing Fear and Finding Home in the Great White North by Blair Braverman(non-fiction)

Proximity Factor

Meet Cynthia Austen, a brilliant 32-year-old PhD neurologist whose career has taken her to the forefront of high-security scientific experimentation within the U.S. Pentagon.

Recently promoted to scientific project manager to report and evaluate DARPA's most classified projects, she finds herself thrust into the intrigue and cutting-edge world of Arctic scientific research.

Assigned to evaluate a mysterious project gone wrong in the remote community of Gakona, Alaska, Cynthia must quickly evolve her strategy and tactics, and transform herself from a diligent professional—into a force to be reckoned with.
