Title Description
It's 1897 and gold fever sends sane men scurrying to the Klondike. Perhaps the strangest group of all is a band of four aristocratic Englishmen and their Irish servant who embark on the perilous journey for adventure, fulfillment and duty.

Out of a misguided sense of patriotism, the men opt for the most treacherous route through British soil, avoiding a much easier path on American territory. In the bleak reaches of Canada's arctic terrain, their journey shows the grandeur of the human spirit, and the follies of blind obedience. "One of Michener's most memorable novels.

I can't imagine what Books on Tape had in mind when they chose their reader for James Michener's books. I don't expect every performer to be as skilled and entertaining as Frank Muller, but Larry McKeever is absolutely the worst I've come across. His narration lacks life, intonation, and everything needed to hold the reader's attention. The fact that he was chosen as a narrator is outrageous.
