Nancy | 176 comments 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.

Ken Burning Cold  The Cruise Ship Prinsendam and the Greatest Sea Rescue of all Time by H. Paul Jeffers

The Thousand-Mile War  World War II in Alaska and the Aleutians 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.
