Good book about life in AlaskaBy Michael WardI bought this book in a store in Anchorage after I moved to Alaska in 1997. It is nice to see it on now. This was a really interesting read. I actually met someone who had worked with the authors best friend Hagen in the oil industry in Alaska when I was working on the North Slope back in 1998 and 1999. I am interested to see that Douglas Anderson grew up in Derbyshire. I lived for a long time in Long Eaton in Derbyshire and spent many happy hours hiking in the Peak District in Derbyshire.It is a long time since I read the book but I do remember it held my attention all the way through and there was a sense of adventure in this book that is missing from the lives of many men now. Douglas Anderson must have great memories from his times gold prospecting in Alaska.If the author still has an electronic copy of this book then I think it would be a good idea to release it as a kindle book and if Douglas Anderson reads this I would be happy to give him one of my templates for free and show him how to publish the book on .Michael Ward2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Gold in Trib 1 reviewBy A CustomerI found this book to be a quick and enjoyable adventure. As a pilot and aircraft owner; like the author; and one who has flown in the same country that the story takes place; I would have been critical of obvious errors in his use of terms and place names. This was not a problem however. I like flying/adventure books and this one fit that catagory well.The author tended to go into a little too much detail about his social life and seemed to mention eating in resturaunts; including what was ordered; a little too much. Some authors would have included the entire contents of this book into one or two chapters of a longer book. However; I think anyone who enjoys adventure in Alaska; flying; or gold prospecting would enjoy the book; as I did. It is well written and some of the authors roots in England seem to come through in his writing style.
