About the Author:

Max Brand's action-filled stories of adventure and heroism in the American West continue to entertain readers throughout the world. Brand penned over 200 full-length Westerns in his career, including Destry Rides Again and Montana Rides. Several of his novels are available from Brilliance Audio.

From Booklist:

It has been said that Max Brand, the pen name of Frederick Faust, may have reached more people in more ways than any other writer. Besides westerns, he wrote crime fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, and as the creator of Dr. Kildare, medical romance. And, for the last 75 years, unpublished, resurrected, or restored Max Brand stories have continued to appear at the rate of one every four months. Not bad for a man who gave up a booming career at age 51 to serve as a World War II war correspondent only to be killed in action. This latest collection of resurrected pieces features three short novels, previously published only in periodicals: The Blackness of MacTee, which first appeared as Black Thunder in 1933; King of Rats, also published in 1933 as Reata's Desert Ride, under the name of George Owen Baxter; and The Gauntlet, which appeared under the Baxter name in 1921. These vintage Brands tell classic tales of frontier adventure in which honor shines, love is true, and virtue is always rewarded. Budd Arthur
