Reseña del libro "No stop-overs (en Inglés)"
A gold claim can tempt even the steadiest hand away from the throttle. On the difficult railroad running inland from Nome, locomotive engineer Sam Tebbetts must keep freight and passengers moving while gold fever urges him towards a very different fortune. Small in stature but formidable in ability, Sam is repeatedly forced to measure personal ambition against promises made and duties that cannot simply be set aside. Beside him works Suydam "Plapp" Plapp, a large, powerful fireman whose partnership with the diminutive engineer gives this short adventure much of its humour and energy. Their camaraderie is tested by hazardous schedules, the demands of train operation and the disorder of a frontier gold rush, where prospecting brings rivalry as readily as opportunity. When Sam and Plapp try to work a claim without abandoning the railroad, professional responsibility and private hopes become tightly entangled. Railroad adventure and gold-rush fiction meet in a brisk tale of competence, loyalty and personal honour. Physical confrontations and the defence of a claim sharpen the conflict, while Sam's misleading appearance contrasts with the skill required to command a locomotive along a demanding line. The story finds comedy in mismatched partners and competing obligations without losing sight of the practical work that binds them together.
