Max Brand

Gunman's Reckoning Max Brand

A drifter has the opportunity to right a wrong, but does he know the whole truth? This is a story of love; lies and adventure told in Max Brand's trademark witty and lyrical style. A typical early 20th century western. It's a tale of a tough guy who gets involved with an evil man with an angel daughter for whom the tough guy falls. His efforts to recover hers and her father's gold mine claims is the story. Not a lot of shoot em up but enough story to make one want to finish the book to see how things work out. Max Brand, was the pen name of Frederick Schiller Faust. He was a prolific American author best known for his classic western novels. Brand also created the famous character Dr. Kildare which became the basis of many films and television shows.
