"Riordan is a superb storyteller, and The North Line is an all-engrossing, never-dull depiction of Alaska's "wild west" and those drawn to it. Sentence by sentence, Riordan's dazzling language will transport readers into a world both challenging and packed with beauty and possibility."
-Anchorage Daily News
“A frightening story of tough men pushed to the brink. The novel is captivating, occasionally funny, and startling. I couldn’t put it down.”

Reviews
“The North Line is a ruggedly erudite story that combines the best of the individualism of Jack London with the introspective ruminations of Raymond Carver . . . not to be missed.”

"The North Line is one of those rare books that you feel as much as read. The world and its details are so real, so intimate, and so lived-in and that I had to check my fingertips for fish scales once I finished reading."
