The chance for untold riches sent thousands scurrying to one of the most forbidding areas on the map: the Klondike. For a few, the riches became reality; for the vast majority, they became no more than a lost hope-and for hundreds their hapless journeys ended in death. This novel, by America's master story-teller, recounts the adventures of the strangest group of all, a band of four aristocratic Englishmen and their Irish servant, Tim Fogarty. In the privileged enclave of his exclusive London club, Lord Evelyn Luton plans the moves that will take his cousin Harry Carpenter, his nephew Philip Henslow, and Philip's young poet friend Trevor Blythe on a perilous journey to Canada's treasure fields. Carpenter has already faced down some of the wildest parts of Afghanistan, Luton is a veteran African explorer, and the two younger men have been rigorously schooled in the obligations of personal fulfillment demanded by their privileged background. For Fogarty, an aspiring gamekeeper and accomplished poacher, his presence is a duty of service he cannot refuse. The group chooses the most difficult of routes to the gold fields, north from Edmonton down the forbidding Mackenzie River.
