<p><strong>Christopher Bellew is a success in the eyes of the world, engaged with the San Francisco paper and penning stories daily . . . but for no pay.</strong> When Klondike fever strikes the region, he sees his chance to break from drudgery -- starting him on a journey that takes him over mountain passes and down swirling rapids, removing him forever from the world he knew and the man he was.</p><p>Taking the name "Smoke," he learns to thrive and flourish in the wilds of the frontier.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
