The Ultimate Guide For Any Fan Of The Great Max Brand, November 28, 2005
This review is from: The Max Brand Companion: (Hardcover)
When I picked up this book I was new to the fiction of Max Brand and wanted to know more about this genius. Brand's (Frederick Faust's) accomplishments are still legendary in the world of the written word and this volume gives you a fascinating, comprehensive overview of the man and his work. Amongst personal letters and bios and the recollections of people who knew and worked with Faust, there is, I believe, a complete list of the man's incredible output. If you think Brand (Faust) was just a western writer, guess again. He wrote in just about every genre of fiction and did it with distinction. And the fact that millions all over the world are still reading his work 60 years after his tragic death in combat during World War Two is a testament to his talent. For the long-time fan the book is a must but for the new reader like myself it provides a great introduction to one of the greatest writers of all time. Well worth the purchase price. A priceless guide.
