To find them she will need Kerri, the former kid genius and her excitable Weimaraner, Tim. They will also have to get Nate, who is currently residing in an asylum.

As his fame (or infamy) grows during the Lincoln County War, so do the whispering apparitions: some pleading for peace, others demanding vengeance, all of them fueling Billy’s slow spiral from cocky renegade to trembling soul.

Having saved the distant world of Caeles and its interstellar empire - not to mention the life of its ruler, Queen Dornoccia - Jim (aka Kid Sensation), returns to Earth with two notable prizes. The first is his long-missing grandmother, the alien Princess Indigo. The other is Queen Dornoccia’s great-great-granddaughter, Myshtal, who is a princess in her own right and a budding superhero.

Längst ist aus Kid Bellew, dem Grünschnabel, ein erfahrener Jäger und Goldsucher, einer der kühnsten Männer des wilden Nordens geworden. Er und sein Freund Kurz durchstreifen die weißen Einöden von Alaska, und mit ihnen reist das Abenteuer. Sie gehen seltsamen Spuren im Schnee nach, die sie zu einem merkwürdigen Waldlager führen, über dessen Bewohnern ein Geheimnis zu liegen scheint… Sie steigen groß in das Geschäft mit Eiern ein, das sich allerdings sehr bald als Fehlspekulation erweist; doch Kid und Kurz nehmen Rache an denen, die sie hereingelegt und allgemeinem Spott ausgeliefert haben.

Die Fortsetzung von "Alaska Kid“ präsentiert trotz des Titels eher Solo-Abenteuer des zum erfahrenen Goldsucher gereiften Chris Bellew und einige dieser Geschichten wurden im düsteren Mehrteiler "Lockruf des Goldes“ verfilmt. Daneben steht aber auch die (bereits in "Alaska Kid“ erwähnte) Affäre mit dem Eiermonopol, die für den Hörer weitaus spaßiger ist als für die Hauptfiguren selbst.

“Oh, I want to go back to the Rio Grande! The Rio! That’s where I long to be!” The words, sung in a soft and musical tenor, died away and changed to a plaintive whistle, leaving the scene more lonely than ever. For a few moments nothing was to be seen except the endless expanse of wilderness, and nothing was to be heard save the mournful warble of the singer. Then a horse and rider were suddenly framed where the sparse timber opened out upon the plain. Together, man and mount made a striking picture; yet it would have been hard to say which was the more picturesque—the rider or the horse.
