The Wizard of Hope: The Alaskan Adventures of Percy Hope
AVAILABLE NOW
Alaska, 1915. A land as vast and unforgiving as it is beautiful—where fortune and ruin arrive on the same tide. At its center, a bold vision takes shape: the Alaska Railroad, a steel artery meant to unite the Territory from Seward to Fairbanks. Yet beneath this dream of progress stirs something far older and far more dangerous.
When journalist Percy Hope arrives to cover the railroad’s construction for the San Francisco Examiner, he expects to find grit and glory. Instead, he uncovers a brutal murder and a silver medallion that seems to pulse with life. The relic hints at powers buried deep within Alaska’s wilderness—forces untouched by civilization and unbound by time.
Following the tracks north through storm-lashed coasts, frozen valleys, and the shadow of Denali, Percy encounters visionaries determined to see the line completed—and enemies willing to kill to stop it. Each mile reveals new acts of sabotage, whispers of vanished men, and clues pointing to a hidden war between progress and preservation. As danger mounts, Percy begins to suspect that the medallion’s secret may hold the key to both.
Blending history, mystery, and the supernatural, The Wizard of Hope plunges readers into the raw, mythic soul of Alaska’s frontier. It is a tale of ambition and awakening, where the whistle of tthe train carries not only the promise of progress but the echo of something ancient—something that remembers.
"Creativity is the alchemy of the soul, turning grief into grace, pain into purpose, and the scars of loss into enduring art.”

ABOUT
THE NOVELIST
Neil Perry Gordon approaches storytelling as more than a craft — it is his passion and purpose, a means to explore the extraordinary and bring it within reach. Through his writing, he masterfully intertwines the threads of history, metaphysics, and speculative inquiry, crafting immersive narratives that uncover hidden truths and resonate deeply on a human level.
With over a dozen published novels — including the widely acclaimed The Wizard of Hope: The Alaskan Adventures of Percy Hope—Neil has dedicated himself to creating stories that inspire reflection, wonder, and a deeper understanding of life’s mysteries. His work spans historical fiction and metaphysical fantasy, blending meticulous research with visionary imagination.
Neil’s storytelling is rooted in a reverence for the power of narrative to connect, uplift, and
transform. His novels are rich tapestries where history, myth, and “what if” possibilities converge — inviting readers to explore alternate realities and the untapped potential of human existence.
For Neil, writing is an act of discovery. Each book becomes a living canvas upon which he
explores the interplay between the seen and unseen, the temporal and eternal. His prose carries both intellectual rigor and emotional grace, weaving tales that are as spiritually resonant as they are vividly human.
Whether delving into the depths of consciousness, posing speculative questions that expand perception, or illuminating the sacred threads that bind past and present, Neil’s stories invite readers to encounter the world anew. They are a feast for the mind and spirit — narratives that linger long after the final page has been turned.
