About this audiobook
Gold fever infects a nation, driving ambitious youths across treacherous plains toward the promise of untold riches. The journey west is a grueling crucible of heat, thirst, and hostile encounters that tests their physical and mental breaking points. Upon reaching the chaotic, lawless camps, they discover that digging the precious metal is only half the battle. They must defend their hard-won claims from thieves and swindlers in a place where justice is decided at the barrel of a gun.
