It is 1896 in the Yukon Territory, Canada. The largest gold strike in the annals of human history has just been made; however, word of the discovery will not reach the outside world for another year.
By happenstance, a fifty-nine-year-old Huck Finn and his lady friend, Molly Lee, are on hand, but they are not interested in gold. They have come to that neck of the woods seeking adventure.
Someone should have warned them, "Be careful what you wish for."
When disaster strikes, they volunteer to save the day by making an arduous six hundred mile journey by dog sled in the depths of a Yukon winter. They race against time, nature, and man. With the temperature hovering around seventy degrees below zero, they must fight every day if they are to live to see the next.
On the frozen trail, they are put upon by murderers, hungry wolves, and hostile Indians, but those adversaries have nothing over the weather. At seventy below, your spit freezes a foot from your face. Your cheeks burn--your skin turns purple and black as it dies from the cold. You are in constant danger of losing fingers and toes to frostbite.
It is into this world that Huck and Molly race.
They cannot stop or turn back. They can only go on. Lives hang in the balance--including theirs.
Resolution Huck Finn Greatest Adventure edition by Andrew Joyce Literature Fiction eBooks
I would swear in court that somehow, by golly, Andrew Joyce is related to Mark Twain. I a huge fan of Mr. Twain, and read him often. In reading Mr. Joyce's books, I have had to pause regularly to reassure myself that this was not Mark Twain. Additionally, Huck is right to despise Ned Buntline. Huck's "real-life" adventures topped anything in Mr. Buntline's imagination.Huckleberry Finn was indomitable as a boy. His adventures on the Mississippi portended a future as a man of adventure. When we met Huck as a boy, we were awed and delighted at his strength of character, and his own peculiar, yet strong, moral code. He carried this through to manhood, as chronicled by Andrew Joyce. After reading the first two books in the series, Redemption, and Molly Lee, I had to re-read Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry FInn. As I read, I kept thinking about Andrew Joyce's stories of the men they would become. Tom Sawyer and Huck FInn have always lived in a special place in my imagination, and Andrew Joyce has taken me back there to fill in their future.
Huck and Molly's adventure in the Yukon is a true love story with just a few little twists on romance. Their adventure is heartbreaking, breath-taking, humbling, and fulfilling. My heart spent much of the book right up there in my throat. If you begin reading this book without any ideas about love, sacrifice, and dedication, you will have developed them when you emerge. We learned about a man's devotion to the woman he loved, and also the perseverance of the man driven by the loyalty to a friend in need.
Other reviews will reveal details of the story, and that is fine for them. I give you Andrew Joyce. The author dedicated to preserving the true character of the boys from fictional history, who were created by a man who has lived his stories, and faithfully carried into adult adventures by a man faithful to their origins. Someday Mr. Joyce will tell me how he knows Mark Twain so well--the former being born after the latter passed into history. Thank you for the adventures, Andrew. I can hardly wait for what comes next in Yellow Hair!

Resolution Huck Finn Greatest Adventure edition by Andrew Joyce Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
“… Huck liked to think of Ned Buntline – the man who wrote those books – as roasting in hell.” – from RESOLUTION, as Huck regrets the dime novels that exaggerated his exploits as a former lawman
RESOLUTION is the third offering by Andrew Joyce in his post-Mark Twain Huckleberry Finn/Tom Sawyer – but mostly Huck – series. It sequels Redemption The Further Adventures of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, which follows the adventures of (mostly) Huck and Tom after they desert the Confederate army, and Molly Lee, which tells the adult life story of Molly Lee, a Virginia farm girl saved from a Union Army rapist by Huck after he and Tom desert and who sets out to follow her savior to the ends of the earth after he departs her family’s farm. Huck apparently isn’t the sort to settle down.
In RESOLUTION, it’s 1896. Molly is in her 50s and Huck is approaching 60. Finally reunited in New York City at the end of MOLLY LEE, the two set out for Alaska after a brief stop out West to visit Tom, now a town sheriff.
Despite Huck’s unfavorable opinion of Ned Buntline, and specifically that writer’s sensationalized stories of the West and crime published in the mid-nineteenth century, Joyce’s three books of the series to date are but extended versions of the genre – simple pulp thrillers untrammeled by any nuances related to morality or ethics. Huck and Molly are upright and noble heroes, period, that confront a succession of dangers and deadly tough spots greater in number during a short period than anyone should realistically face – many of their own making. And through it all, they endure to come out relatively with barely a strand of hair mussed out of place. Over the long haul, however, Huck may develop a drinking problem – his Achilles heel, perhaps, if he doesn't tread carefully.
Our heroes are aided by one of the most appealing characters of the story, a lead sled dog named Bright.
RESOLUTION renders the reader a valuable service in providing a brief accounting, based on fact, of the beginning of the Klondike gold rush of 1896.
RESOLUTION is an uncomplicated action adventure to be read simply to go with the flow of events, perhaps on a cross-country plane flight or cruise up the Inside Passage to Skagway – a 5-star representation of the genre if that’s what will satisfy at the moment.
I never realised that Resolution was part of a series until after I finished reading it. It’s a perfect standalone novel, although now I do want to read the first two as well. Andrew Joyce writes a story that is pretty much impossible to put down once you get started.
Resolution’s heroes are none other than Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, in fabulous incarnations that I can believe would be heartily approved of by Mark Twain himself. Tom doesn’t have a major part on this book, but the fabulous Molly – Huck’s love, makes up for that and then some.
Molly and Huck head off to Alaska on a grand adventure, and happen to be right there when the biggest gold strike of all time is made. They’re not interested in panning for gold though. Instead they find themselves up against both man and nature as they race across the snow in deadly sub-zero temperatures on a dog sled to get a man home by a certain very important date.
I was mostly on the edge of my seat – the action doesn’t stop, but there is so much wit, love, and just plain fabulous life in this story, I loved it all the way through. Andrew Joyce is the real deal, and an awesome storyteller in his own right, right up there with Mr Twain.
