A gunman agrees to do a rich man's dirty work in this classic Western from one of the genre's early masters. "The Shakespeare of the Western range." —New York Times Book Review

Autoren-Profil

Max Brand, the pen name of Frederick Schiller Faust, was a prolific American author whose literary contributions spanned multiple genres, including Westerns, historical novels, and pulp fiction. Born on May 29, 1892, in Seattle, Washington, Faust's early life was marked by hardship and a restless spirit that would later infuse his writing with a sense of adventure and resilience.Faust's career took off in the 1920s when he began writing for pulp magazines. Under the Max Brand pseudonym, he created enduring characters like Dr. Kildare, who would later become a cultural icon through radio, film, and television adaptations. Despite his success in the Western genre, Faust's versatility allowed him to explore diverse themes, from romance to fantasy, making him a standout figure in early 20th-century American literature.A notable controversy in Faust's career was his complex relationship with the literary establishment. While his work was immensely popular with the general public, it often faced criticism from literary critics who dismissed pulp fiction as lowbrow. Nevertheless, Faust's storytelling prowess and his ability to capture the human spirit won him a loyal readership.Faust's influence on contemporary writers is undeniable. His fast-paced narratives and richly drawn characters have inspired generations of authors, particularly in the Western and adventure genres. Moreover, his revolutionary approach to serialized storytelling laid the groundwork for modern episodic narratives in various media.Tragically, Faust's life was cut short when he died from wounds sustained as a war correspondent during World War II in 1944. Yet, his legacy endures, reminding modern readers of the timeless appeal of a well-told story and the enduring spirit of adventure.
