Gold Fever — Steven Becker

Where can you run when you need to escape your past?The Caribbean isn't a place where Nick and the crew of the Panther can sail freely any longer, so they set off on their biggest adventure yet: Around Cape Horn to join the San Francisco Gold Rush.The opportunities in the lawless gold fields are uniquely suited to the crew's abilities-and eerily similar to their pirate past. Their new adventure is fraught with danger, excitement, and the ultimate risk as they face broadsides, raging rivers, deadly fires, and above all, the greed instilled in men. To survive, Nick and company have to use their experience and cunning to outwit the raucous'49ers.
