Fevre Dream: A Novel

Fevre Dream: A Novel

When struggling riverboat captain Abner Marsh receives an offer of partnership from a wealthy aristocrat, he suspects somethingâ€™s amiss. But when he meets the hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York, he is certain. For York doesnâ€™t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marshâ€™s dilapidated fleet. Nor does he care that he wonâ€™t earn back his investment in a decade. York has his own reasons for wanting to traverse the powerful Mississippi. And they are to be none of Marshâ€™s concernâ€”no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious his actions may prove.

Marsh meant to turn down Yorkâ€™s offer. It was too full of secrets that spelled danger. But the promise of both gold and a grand new boat that could make history crushed his resolveâ€”coupled with the terrible force of Yorkâ€™s mesmerizing gaze. Not until the maiden voyage of his new sidewheeler Fevre Dream would Marsh realize he had joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare...and mankindâ€™s most impossible dream.
Here is the spellbinding tale of a vampireâ€™s quest to unite his race with humanity, of a garrulous rivermanâ€™s dream of immortality, and of the undying legends of the steamboat era and a majestic, ancient river.
