Max Brand
If you enjoy a fast moving Western dealing with vengeance and well-deserved payback, youll like "The Rangeland Avenger" by Max Brand. When Riley Sinclair heads into the town of Sour Creek to seek vengeance for the death of his brother, he doesnt expect any trouble given his reputation and his skills with a gun. He is not prepared for Cold Feet, however, a man locally known for his abject lack of courage and his non existent fighting skills. A soft spoken but ruthless gunman cuts a path of deadly payback across the Wild West in this exciting adventure. Classic old time Western. Revenge, treatise on what a friend is, gun-play, loyalty, what makes a man a man, twists and turns.
William Shakespeare
This is a beautiful and touching poem. Shakespeare uses language and metaphor clearly and very accessible. This is a very sad poem, and he embodies the tragedy of events. Values, loyalty, virtue, shame and revenge are carefully studied. Lucretias rhetorical mastery, combined with an incredible ecphratic passage depicting Troy, creates a truly amazing poem.
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky

Joseph Smith Fletcher
Marshall Allerdyke is driving through the night from London to Hull in response to an urgent telegram from his cousin. As he nears Hull, a beautiful woman stops his car to ask for directions to Scotland. Odd time to be traveling so far and in such a hurry, but Allerdykes mind is elsewhere. When he finally arrives in Hull, he finds his cousin dead in his hotel room and a valuable consignment of jewels missing. Allerdykes only clue rests with that woman hurrying off to Scotland. Written in beautifully period English, this mystery has many threads to solve. The main characters work wonderfully with each other to solve the mystery, with the assistance of the British police. There are enough twists and turns and revelations to keep you busy right to the end.
Robert W. Chambers

George Owen Baxter
Frederick Schiller Faust (May 29, 1892 - May 12, 1944) was an American author known primarily for his thoughtful and literary Westerns under the pen name Max Brand. This is one of his novels. Clancy Morgan must learn how to shoot a gun when his best friend is unjustly accused of murder; John Manner, on the lam from the law, finds a new identity in the frozen Arctic. The plot is well constructed with well drawn subsidiary characters and provides a number of interesting twists. Highly recommended, especially for those who love the Old Western genre. Max Brands action-filled stories of adventure and heroism in the American West continue to entertain readers throughout the world.
