Frederick Schiller Faust was an American author known primarily for his thoughtful and literary Westerns under the pen name Max Brand. His love for mythology was a constant source of inspiration for his fiction, and it has been speculated that these classical influences accounted in some part for his success as a popular writer. Many of Faust’s stories would later inspire films. He rivaled Edgar Wallace and Isaac Asimov as one of the most prolific authors of all time. Faust wrote more than 500 novels for magazines and almost as many short stories. His total literary output is estimated to have been between 25,000,000 and 30,000,000 words! This volume features 22 of his greatest works.
