The Untamed by Max Brand is about a larger-than-life hero and the wrath of that hero. In it, a young cowboy, Dan Barry, comes of age while wrestling with personal problems, like a beautiful woman, an implacable enemy, an uncontrollable temper, an invincible ability to kill his enemies when angry, and uncertainty about his future. The Untamed contains all the trademark elements that raises Brand to the top rank of western writers - furious action, passionate romance, original ideas, and a sense of universality that makes his stories as relevant today as when they were first written. When a cowpoke who is slow to use violence is beaten by a vicious outlaw, he sets out on the vengeance trail, never realizing that before it is over he will have to choose between Kate Cumberland, the woman he loves, and the path destiny has marked out from home. If you like westerns, The Untamed is the one book you can't afford to miss. Find out why the Saturday Review called his work, "nobly planned, nobly felt, nobly written;" the New York Times "an exceptionally solid … worked out with flawless skill;" and the New York Herald Tribune "stirring."
