Resolution:
Huck Finn's Greatest Adventure
By
Andrew Joyce
Genre: Historical Fiction/Action Adventure
It is
1896 in the Yukon Territory, Canada. The largest gold strike in the annals of
human history has just been made; however, word of the discovery will not reach
the outside world for another year.
By
happenstance, a fifty-nine- year-old Huck Finn and his lady friend, Molly Lee,
are on hand, but they are not interested in gold. They have come to that neck
of the woods seeking adventure.
Someone
should have warned them, “Be careful what you wish for.”
When
disaster strikes, they volunteer to save the day by making an arduous six
hundred mile journey by dog sled in the depths of a Yukon winter. They race
against time, nature, and man.
With
the temperature hovering around seventy degrees below zero, they must fight
every day if they are to live to see the next.
On the
frozen trail, they are put upon by murderers, hungry wolves, and hostile
Indians, but those adversaries have nothing over the weather. At seventy below,
your spit freezes a foot from your face. Your cheeks burn—your skin turns
purple and black as it dies from the cold. You are in constant danger of losing
fingers and toes to frostbite.
It is
into this world that Huck and Molly race.
They cannot
stop. They cannot turn back. They can only go on. Lives hang in the
balance—including theirs.
