Dragon's Gate - Softcover

Otter is a young man who was forced to leave China and join his father and uncle in California where they worked on a transcontinental railroad.

More importantly, Otter learned that his father and uncle were not the heroes he thought they were. Trying to survive in brute working conditions, Otter has to undertake a desperate mission.
