Craig Alanson is a New York Times bestselling author who took the science fiction world by storm with his self-published debut, Columbus Day. His Expeditionary Force series has become a massive hit, particularly in audiobook format, praised for its blend of hard military sci-fi, space opera scale, and laugh-out-loud humor.
Alanson’s writing is known for its fast pacing, creative insults (usually delivered by Skippy), and the dynamic relationship between the “inept monkey” humans and their super-advanced AI companion. He has built a sprawling universe that balances galactic stakes with intimate character moments.
