Burning Daylight

Elam Harnish—known as Burning Daylight—is the toughest, luckiest man in the Yukon. A legendary prospector and gambler, he strikes it rich in the Klondike gold rush and brings his fortune south to San Francisco. There, he plunges into the cutthroat world of high finance, where his raw strength and cunning make him a titan of industry. But success comes at a cost: the relentless pursuit of wealth begins to hollow him out. When he meets Dede Mason, a woman of quiet integrity, he faces a choice between the empire he has built and the chance for a different kind of life. Jack London’s classic novel of adventure, ambition, and love is reimagined here in fresh, modern prose that preserves the spirit of the original. Part of Timeless Classics.
