Owen Laukkanen’s standalone novels include How to Win at High School (2015) and The Fixes (2016), both young adult titles dealing with social pressure and moral compromise among teenagers. Gale Force (2018) is an adult thriller set in the maritime salvage industry off the coast of Alaska.
These three books show Laukkanen’s range outside his series work. Gale Force in particular demonstrates his ability to write compelling action in unfamiliar settings, with the Pacific Ocean storms and the mechanics of salvage providing plenty of natural tension.
