Synopsis

Max Brand was one of the pen names used by Frederick Schiller Faust (May 29, 1892 - May 12, 1944) Faust was an American fiction author best known for his thoughtful and literary Westerns. In the 1910's he began selling stories to pulp fiction magazines. His love of mythology is evident in his fiction writings. Dan Barry was the man no one could kill, that his dog was a tamed wolf, and that his horse was the fastest in the West. Vic Gregg knew all this. Dan Barry had once saved his life. Vic is now in a position where he must betray Barry or die. The book does contain some violence.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Seventh Man by Max Brand, tells part of the story of the larger-than-life western character, Dan Barry, known as “Whistling Dan,” and his alter-ego companions, Black Bart, the wolf-dog, and Satan, the indomitable black stallion. It’s also the story of Kate Cumberland and the incredible five-year-old daughter of Kate and Dan, Joan. We first see Dan as a gentle, caring man with a deep sense of fairness. But then, after six years of a peaceful life in their mountain cabin Dan, more feral than human, sets out to revenge an injustice by killing seven men. Ultimately, it is his devotion to his daughter and Kate’s love for the child that brings about the climax of the tale. Warning: don’t look for a typical cowboy story here – it’s far deeper and stronger than that. (Summary by Robert Keiper)
