My review -
Gold
fever! The great rush to stake a claim and get rich. This cracking adventure
story sees ex lawman Jake and his friend Willie join up with other individuals,
including a native Tlingit Indian, to help one another over the gruelling
passes and dense wooded terrain on the way to Dawson. Naturally, not everyone
is friendly and helpful, and they make enemies as they travel. There are people
wanting them dead.
The
excitement in this really ramps up when we find that there is something else
tracking the group; something that’s messing with their minds. David Haynes
incorporates outdoor adventure with horror and legend. It’s a potent mix and
it’s done very well. It’s atmospheric, with the snow and the rain as constant
enemies. I suspect a lot of good research has gone into this book but the
reader isn’t hammered with it. It just makes it very convincing and readable. A
thoroughly gripping book.
