Renowned Western writer Max Brand does it again in the eminently enjoyable novel âStolen Goldâ. Packed with enough action and romance to please even the most die-hard fans of the genre, the novel also addresses a wide range of important themes with insight and sensitivity. No one knew â or wrote about â the West like Max Brand, as shown brilliantly in the this classic short novel. In this novel Reata, one of Brandâs most popular heroes, is enlisted to retrieve a hidden treasure in gold â little knowing that itâs stolen goods. The plot is well constructed with well drawn subsidiary characters and provides a number of interesting twists. Highly recommended, especially for those who love the Old Western genre.
