Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
One Man Posse
Max Brand · 1987
59/100
👎 Skip It
Max Brand was a master of the Western pulp form, and this delivers the expected fast pacing and clear moral stakes. The problem is there is very little beyond genre formula here — thin critical record, low originality, and modest substance even by Western standards. Western fans will find it readable; anyone else can skip.
