Way Of The Lawless is a fictional novel written by Max Brand. Uncle Jasper has taught Andrew Lanning how to shoot in the same manner as the gunmen of the Old West, when the region was still a little more primitive and wilder. Andrew is perhaps a little too friendly and welcoming. Yet when challenged, he knocks down a man with a glancing punch. He flees, believing he has killed the man. Nevertheless, he kills the commander of the posse while he is being pursued by them and realizes they aren't being fair, starting his life as a desperado. Way Of The Lawless by Max Brand is a masterpiece that takes the reader through a roller-coaster of emotions and unlike other novels, makes no qualms in showing tragedy in its true color and sprit. By the end of the novel, readers will be overwhelmed with sea of emotions.

For a collection of pulp fiction stories, he (as Max Brand) also invented the well-known fictional character of young medical intern Dr. James Kildare. Over the next several decades, his Kildare character appeared in a variety of other media, including a number of American theatrical films by Paramount Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), a radio program, two television programs, and comic books.

Taking place in Renaissance Italy, the Tizzo saga was a collection of historical swashbuckler tales starring the title hero. When Faust, Frank Gruber, and coauthor Steve Fisher were at Warner Brothers at the beginning of 1944, they frequently engaged in idle talk in the afternoons with Colonel Nee, a technical advisor dispatched from Washington
