Soft Metal

Soft Metal

Collected here are three of Max Brand's greatest short novels, all restored to their original splendor, just as the author intended. In "The Red Bandanna," Clancy Morgan returns to town to warn his best friend, Danny Travis, that Bill Orping is heading there, looking for a confrontation. But when he gets there he finds that Orping has arrived before him and was shot in the backâ€”and it looks like Danny was the killer. "His Name His Fortune" is the story of a young gambler who falls in love with the daughter of a wealthy rancher who despises him. And in the final short novel, "Soft Metal," Larry Givain, fleeing from a posse, meets a beautiful woman at a deserted cabin belonging to one of the men in the posse. Her brother is also holed up in the cabin, pursued by a notorious gunfighter. With death drawing ever nearer, Givain realizes his life will never be the same again.
