The world knows Jack London as a writer who lived his own real-life adventures. But there are some parts of his life that have remained hidden for many years, things even he couldn’t set down in writing. Terrifying, mysterious, bizarre, and magical — these are the Secret Journeys of Jack London.
Returning to the Yukon with his love Sabine in an attempt to shed light on her mysterious past, Jack is accompanied by several werewolf pirates, and followed by their brutal ex-captain, Ghost. But that great, cold land has fallen under the shadow of a new, terrible threat –– great beasts that relish the taste of human blood. It is up to Jack, his friends, and the trail-hardened Callie King to confront the danger. But these monsters are terrible and powerful, and they are forced to join forces with the dreadful tree-spirit Lesya for any chance at surviving.
This final installment in the trilogy of adventures of the young Jack London is a masterpiece of tension and emotion. Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon have crafted a tale for readers of all ages, an action-packed, romantic, and suspenseful descent into the darkest desires of men and beasts and the hell that awaits them.

It is a real shame that the 3rd and final instalment of this series was published only as an ebook. The first two in the series have amazing hardback editions with great illustrations and having read those two jumping to my kindle for this was really disappointing.
Regardless, good storytelling will always come through and after getting over my disappointment of not having a physical copy I went on to really enjoy this book. As always with the series it's a great adventure story with mythical creatures thrown in. The ending was also a perfect way to end the series and both Golden & Lebbon deserve to be more read.
Now publishers... Can you send me a hardback please, you are ruining the aesthetics of my bookshelf!!!
