A "riveting . . . sweeping epic" of one man driven by gold fever,
by the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of North and South
(Richmond Times-Dispatch). At the height of California's Gold Rush,
men left everything behind for the chance at striking it rich. Now,
some thirty years after its peak, gold fever still entices
adventurous Easterners like James Macklin Chance, a poor
Pennsylvanian who is drawn to California by the dream of lasting
wealth-a dream so powerful he'll stop at nothing to see it through.
Along the way he'll encounter grand passion, ruthless enemies, and
larger-than-life titans like Leland Stanford, Theodore Roosevelt,
and William Randolph Hearst, who helped shape a country's destiny.
"The best historical novelist of our time" (Patricia Cornwell) once
again spins a sweeping tale of power and passion, as he did so
masterfully in the Crown Family Saga, the Kent Family Chronicles,
and the North and South trilogy.
