Acerca de esta escucha

From the bestselling author of White Rose, Black Forest comes a page-turning epic of adventure, suspense, and romance set against the rich and ruthless backdrop of the Klondike gold rush.

Seattle, 1897. Anna Denton is not like the other prospectors traveling to the Yukon on the promise of riches. It’s duty - not profit - that calls her into the wild unknown. With her family nearing financial ruin, Anna has agreed to marry Henry Bradwell, the wealthy King of the Klondike.

She meets Will and Silas, childhood friends, on the steamer north. After the ship docks in a lawless Alaska town, Anna’s chaperones run afoul of local criminals, leaving her stranded. Will and Silas agree to escort her the hundreds of treacherous miles to Dawson City - the gateway to the goldfields - and her betrothed, a man she doesn’t know.

Upon their arrival, Bradwell warmly welcomes them all. But as a brutal winter sets in, relations sour, and Anna is caught between the promise her family made to the power-hungry Bradwell and her feelings for Will. Anna and her companions soon find themselves in a deadly game where few can be trusted and where the greatest danger in the frozen wilderness of the Klondike is man himself.

Fabulous story

this is the first book I have read on the subject of the Klondike Gold Rush and I'm very interested in more stories, whether fiction or non, written on the sunject. I would highly recommend this book.

Dreaming of Alaska

The detailed descriptions of the rugged terrain and harrowing journey to the Klondike had me pulling up maps of Alaska studying Skagway, the Chilcoot Trail and the Yukon Territory in Canada more than once. The seeming impossibility of anyone surviving such an extended ordeal - much less striking gold - seems unfathomable. To think of how many thousands set off for such a journey during the Gold Rush - and SURVIVED - leaves me with an entirely new appreciation of these miners, settlers and entrepreneurs.

Adventure-Historical Fiction-Justice

Historical fiction is quickly becoming one of my favorite genres. I love how this speaks to different lives and the injustices people face when they don’t fit a “certain” mold. Women’s rights, civil rights, injustices and stereotypes of the Original Americans and their lands, gay rights, and fighting for what You want most. You can read this for the surface level gold rush story or you can dig deeper.

What a great book

It makes you want to go to Alaska in the spring and summer. I have listened the three books mr Dempsey has written . They are all so good waiting for more.

Tale of courage

It amazes me how many people suffered the hardships of the Klondike in search of gold. This story was full of adventure, hardship, greed, and perserverance. It painted a picture of the gold rush that favored the few and took from the many.

Enjoyable

I really enjoyed this story. Heading to Alaska this summer and it will give me much to think about while visiting and seeing the sights that were described in this story.

confused

Show don't tell was emphasized to me when writing fiction. Here we were often told that it was cold but I never felt the cold as when I have read other stories. Then over half way through the book the characters started making choices that seem to have little continuity with what we had been told about them. It is rare for me not to finish a book but it just wasn't worth my time.

A worthy read/listen

A peek into a time & place I'd not know. It would make an excellent mini series. Great visuals & flawed, thus interesting, characters.

Narrator’s attempts at male voices fails

The female narrator’s voice for the male characters was awful & distracting. The story, though, was good. Why don’t they use male & female narrators? It would be so much better or better if narrator did not try to sound like something she is not. Her female character voice was good.

Top of the line novel.

Can't say enough positive about this. Wonderful story about an historical event. Great development of characters. The story was so engrossing we hardly knew that time was passing. The narrator knew the story and presented each character so clearly it was easy to tell the characters apart.
