The Untamed

Beschreibung

The Untamed is a novel written in 1919 by Max Brand. The story revolves around only person who is a young man by the name of Dan Barry, one of the three "untamed" beings. The other two are a black horse named Satan and a wolf-dog named Black Bart. In the early chapters, Dan's adversary is Jim Silent, the leader of a crew of train robbers. When Silent kidnaps Kate (Cumberland's daughter), Texas Calder (a marshal), who has been hunting Silent, joins forces with Dan. Then Silent, the head of a group of railway robbers, and his team murder two guards while robbing a train. They ultimately run with Texas and Dan, who were close on their trail, inside a motel, but Calder is shot by Silent and dies in the boy's arms. The other chapters of the novel are a complicated series of hostage-taking, jailbreaks, and chases and counter-chases in which Dan gets shot and nearly loses his life from blood loss and fever. Will Dane and Kate reunite? If yes, then how will their story get a happy ending? To read the story readers should go through ''The untamed''.

Autor

American author Frederick Schiller Faust (May 29, 1892 - May 12, 1944) is best known for his Western novels written under the pen name Max Brand. For a collection of pulp fiction stories, he (as Max Brand) also invented the well-known fictional character of young medical intern Dr. James Kildare. Over the next several decades, his Kildare character appeared in a variety of other media, including a number of American theatrical films by Paramount Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), a radio program, two television programs, and comic books. George Owen Baxter, Evan Evans, George Evans, Peter Dawson, David Manning, John Frederick, Peter Morland, George Challis, Peter Ward, Frederick Faust, and Frederick Frost are some of the other aliases used by Faust. For Argosy magazine, Faust wrote the "Tizzo the Firebrand" series under the pen name George Challis. Taking place in Renaissance Italy, the Tizzo saga was a collection of historical swashbuckler tales starring the title hero. When Faust, Frank Gruber, and coauthor Steve Fisher were at Warner Brothers at the beginning of 1944, they frequently engaged in idle talk in the afternoons with Colonel Nee, a technical advisor dispatched from Washington
