This is the second book of a series, but it might be able to stand alone. The story is a bit fragmented, but the characters are more rounded than the first book. The science is a little softer, but still pleasant to read. The end is dissatisfying, but I will read the third (and final) regardless. The sum of the plus and minus is slightly more than 2½ stars.

In my review of the first book in this trilogy, I erroneously claimed it was light on science. I was wrong. The science is great, but it's 1991 science. If I think back, this was some fairly accurate near-term predicting considering the information available. Mea culpa.
As always, sharp characters and a decent sense of place informed by the Alaskan gold rush experience. I wish Stabenow would return to the series!
