His Back Against the Wall

„Bad News for Bad Men” is an excellent classic story by the incomparable Max Brand (Frederick Faust). Great read with Max’s leading off to unexpected places with characters you come to know personally. Max leads the reader to characters bigger than life, they come to life as people we wish we knew personally. People who deal with life by taking an active part instead of just observing as it passes by. Brand along with Zane Grey and Louis L’Amour form the holy trinity of western writers. If you’ve read the other two and not Brand, then you’re not experiencing everything the western can be. Highly recommended, especially for those who love the Old Western genre!
