Brand, Max

This rough-and-tumble Western pits Harry Destry against the twelve jurors who sent him to prison for a crime he didn't commit. The thoughtful study of human nature, confrontation and retribution is enhanced by the masterful narration of John Randolph-Jones. His deep, husky voice sets the tone for the male cast of characters, but he's also able to soften it for the character of Charlotte Dangerfield. It's easy to envision a drunken Harry whooping and hollering in a bar scene, as well as the tentative, broken man who returns from prison. The many plot turns in this enjoyable Western will keep listeners entranced to the end. Read more…

This most vicious of timber wolves was now guardian and executor of his estate. And Silvertip, to carry out the dead man’s wish, must find Frosty, the wolf. Read more…

Brand, Max

When Andrew Apperley visits his brother David in the East, he brings along an unexpected companion. Andrew's giant wolf dog, Comanche, is so wild that he has to be chained up for the safety of others. However, when the Apperley brothers come across a man drowning in the East River, Comanche breaks loose from his chains and swims to the man's rescue. In fact, this man, Single Jack Deems, is a convict who has just escaped from Blackwell's Island. Deems wants Comanche for himself, and trails the Apperley brothers as they journey back West. Meanwhile, Andrew has his own problems back home with dangerous outlaw and businessman Alex Shodress.
