âBad News for Bad Menâ is an excellent classic story by the incomparable Max Brand (Frederick Faust). Great read with Maxâs leading off to unexpected places with characters you come to know personally. Max leads the reader to characters bigger than life, they come to life as people we wish we knew personally. People who deal with life by taking an active part instead of just observing as it passes by. Brand along with Zane Grey and Louis LâAmour form the holy trinity of western writers. If youâve read the other two and not Brand, then youâre not experiencing everything the western can be. Highly recommended, especially for those who love the Old Western genre!
