better than expected

Generally I prefer my historical who dun its to use original characters rather than actual historical personages but the author pulls this off rather well. Its a well plotted, credible, and engaging read. Jack London makes a pretty good main character in his persona as a somewhat down at the heels knockabout who takes on a variety of odd jobs to support his writing habit.
