"We've got millions!" the prospectors roared to the throng at Seattle's docks.  "The Klondike is the richest goldfield in the world!"  Within moments, the telegraph is humming the news.   Within hours, fifteen-year-old Jason Hawthorn is rushing west from New York City with a bad case of Klondike fever.
For readers who love a survival story told with bone-chilling authenticity, Will Hobbs has spun a saga of courage, friendship and endurance set under the northern lights and amidst the actual events of the Klondike gold rush.

      Fifteen-year-old Jason Hawthorn treks from Seattle to Dawson City in 1897, as part of the famous Klondike Gold Rush. The grip of "gold fever," the frenzy of the boom towns, the opportunistic behavior of many, and the thrill and misery of adventure are all woven into Hobbs's tale. Boyd Gaines is loyal to the story. The commitment and spirit of the hero shine through as Gaines keeps the listener wanting to hear the next chapter and the next. In an author's note, Hobbs shares his preparation for this novel, which substantiates all that Gaines has brought the listener to understand about the character of Jason and this historical period.
