About this listen
The story is one that reflects incredible daring by those who held the dream of fabulous wealth. The story is also reflective of the less desirable elements including greed, cruelty, and suffering. Here is a drama of superb magnitude, embracing characters that hold the listener in unabated interest right down to the intense climax.

Great story of the gold rush in the Yukon
Robert Service is the namesake of my high school Alma mater in Anchorage, AK. I grew up listening to the works of Robert Service, but never read any of his books. This one captures the trying times and hopeless ventures of those with gold fever. An innocent love story unfolds in the wild country of the Yukon despite all the trials. Robert Service captures the spirit of the times and brings the reader into 1898.

Love and Ice
I listen in the car commuting 2 hours a day. This book kept my attention for hours. Boiled down it is a love story amid terrible circumstances. Historically accurate with very detailed character development often I would drive slower home just to listen to the next development.

Such a powerful story
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I have recommended this book to several friends.
The story is amazing in it's stark realalism. Man's lust for gold is amazing. The pain and suffering for a relatively worthless metal is overwhelming. The cruelty is just shocking.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The main character, the story teller, really won me over. I'd be proud to call him my friend.
Have you listened to any of Maynard Villers’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
no
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Melodramatic
Very melodramatic with one dimensional characters and lots of inaccuracies in dealing the gold rush. Don't waste your money.
