Dan Barry

With uncanny abilities, Whistlin' Dan Berry keeps the toughest of situations under control. The protagonist of Brand's first western novel was radically different from earlier, more realistic characters. In 'The Untamed', readers are introduced to the modern conception of the west as a violent world of fairy tale.

Whistlin' Dan Berry is one of the most interesting characters in Western fiction. With uncanny abilities he controls a wild stallion, appropriately named Satan, and a ferocious wolf dog, Black Bart. Easy going, Berry proves absolutely unforgiving when physically assaulted by a feared, vicious outlaw, Jim Silent. Seemingly without any emotions, Whistlin' Dan is relentless in his vengeful search for Silent and his outlaw gang. This is the first book in the "Whistlin Dan" series.

The Seventh Man by Max Brand, tells part of the story of the larger-than-life western character, Dan Barry, known as "Whistling Dan," and his alter-ego companions, Black Bart, the wolf-dog, and Satan, the indomitable black stallion. It's also the story of Kate Cumberland and the incredible five-year-old daughter of Kate and Dan, Joan. We first see Dan as a gentle, caring man with a deep sense of fairness. But then, after six years of a peaceful life in their mountain cabin Dan, more feral than human, sets out to revenge an injustice by killing seven men. Ultimately, it is his devotion to his daughter and Kate's love for the child that brings about the climax of the tale. Warning: don't look for a typical cowboy story here - it's far deeper and stronger than that.

Dan Barry returns for his final adventure. Strong, alone, righter of wrongs: just don't get on his bad side, or you'll end up dead (or worse). This excellently written story is jam-packed with action, compelling drama, and nail biting suspense.
