Max Brand was a pen name of American writer Frederick Schiller Faust (1892-1944). Faust began his career by selling western stories to the pulps of the 1910s. By the 1920s, Faust was writing exclusively for the various popular western pulp magazines of that time. In the 1930s, Brand became a screenwriter; at one point he was earning $3,000 per week and enjoying success from his characters Destry and Dr. Kildare. Dr. Kildare was adapted to motion pictures, radio, television, and comic books. He wrote more than 500 novels for magazines and almost as many stories of shorter length. His total literary output is estimated to have been between 25,000,000 and 30,000,000 words.

The max brand collected works is fun reading. I have only read 2 of the 17 works so far. I enjoyed both. It has been many years since I have read any of his books and these two I had never read. The action is fast and the stories are vivid.

This review is from: The Collected Works of Max Brand: 17 Westerns in One Volume (Halcyon Classics) (Kindle Edition)
I wish it had started off with one of his westerns instead of a verrrry long sea tale. But what the heck. It was a very good sea tale! There is a vast variety of works giving the reader a lot to enjoy. Biggest criticism .. NO TABLE OF CONTENTS! It could really use one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Prolific, February 19, 2012
This review is from: The Collected Works of Max Brand: 17 Westerns in One Volume (Halcyon Classics) (Kindle Edition)
Max Brand wrote tons of stuff, perhaps too much. There is a sameness to his word products. His heroes tend to be introspective loaners on the lam and thus we get a strong psychological component. Paid by the word, there is an unnecessary wordiness which, when combined with the introspection, tends to prologue even the simplest actions. Brand wrote some good books; he was bound to writing so much, but too many others seem merely perfunctory. I suggest you try a few public domain freebies first.
