Author: Jack London, P. J. Monahan

Christopher Bellew is a success in the eyes of the world, engaged with the San Francisco paper and penning stories daily... but for no pay. When Klondike fever strikes the region, he sees his chance to break from drudgery ? starting him on a journey that takes him over mountain passes and down swirling rapids, removing him forever from the world... more » he knew and the man he was. Taking the name "Smoke," he learns to thrive and flourish in the wilds of the frontier. "Smoke Bellew," first published in 1912, tells a tale as bracing and fast-moving as an icy mountain stream.

John Griffith "Jack" London (born John Griffith Chaney,January 12, 1876 ? November 22, 1916)was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone. Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen", and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf. London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers. He wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes... P. J.
