Sometimes you bring your own gold when you travel to the gold rush. Marcus Gale wanted only to get out of New York. Now he's bound to California and the Land of Gold. He means to get there even if it means shoveling coal all the way. He's taken a job as stoker on a steamship, without knowing what a stoker does. He finds himself caught up in a conspiracy to take over the ship, robbery, mayhem, and a pirate attack. Marcus decides his main goal is to get to California alive. He doesn't know he's destined to carry gold. Alouette Thorndyke is also aboard the ship. She's beautiful and rich, or claims she is. Marcus doesn't realize she's about to get him involved with swindling, chaos and mutiny. Nor that she is about to save his life. Marcus dreams of getting rich in California, but the journey is long from Inferno to Paradise.Now read the book and travel to a time past, which haunts us yet today.

The author was born a long time ago. He spent three years in the US Army where he learned a lot of vital skills, such as how to use a soldering iron and screwdriver, as well as how to make the bed, mop the floor, and wash dishes. He grew up and spent most of his life in San Francisco. After obtaining a useless liberal arts degree, he became a social worker and did more than 20 years in the mean streets of New York City, San Francisco, and rural California. He is now devoted to writing books, which he should have been doing in the first place. He has written some science fiction and fantasy, but is now mainly interested in tales of the Old West.
