Title Riders of the Silences
Credits Produced by Suzanne Shell, Michael Lockey and PG Distributed Proofreaders
Summary "Riders of the Silences" by Max Brand is a novel written in the early 20th century. It explores the legendary tales of gunmen, particularly focusing on the lives of two contrasting characters, Red Pierre and the infamous gunfighter McGurk, as they navigate their destinies against the backdrop of the great Wild West. The story begins with Pierre, a young man molded by the harsh wilderness, who embarks on a journey filled with themes of fatherhood, vengeance, and self-discovery. The opening of the book introduces Father Anthony and Father Victor, two priests discussing their pupil, Pierre, whom they hope to prepare for a life of hardship in the wild. The narrative quickly reveals Pierre's lineage and challenges as a letter from his estranged father reveals painful truths about his past. After his father's death, Pierre vows to avenge him and navigate through a turbulent world filled with violence, making his way to Morgantown to confront those responsible. This opening sets the stage for Pierre's transformation from innocent novice to a fierce man on a quest, hinting at the epic battles and moral dilemmas that lie ahead.
