Columbus Day is the first book in the Expeditionary Force series. The title refers to Columbus Day in the United States when the Native Americans did not see the settlers coming. Much like that, humanity didn’t see the Ruhar coming when they attacked with their advanced weaponry. The UN strikes a deal with the Kristang, another alien race, to fight the Ruhar and many US Army soldiers are transferred to the new war. The only problem is the Ruhar aren’t the enemy. The allied Kristang are.

Another popular book by Alanson is called Ascendant. The book follows a young boy named Koren Bladewell who everyone thinks is a jinx. Bad things are always happening to him, but it’s not because he’s a jinx – it’s because he’s a Wizard and his bad luck is just the power within trying to escape. The Wizard Council was supposed to tell him this, but they don’t because they feel it is what is best for him. They feel he could be dangerous. His path crosses with Princess Ariana Terhayme who fears her mother may be letting their realm be conquered by an ancient enemy. The adults are trying to keep both of them down, but it may only be the two of them working together than can save the realm.
