"Ronicky Doone" by Max Brand is a novel written in the early 20th century, likely around the 1920s. This Western story introduces us to the central character, Ronicky Doone, a dandy and gambler with a flair for horsemanship. The narrative kicks off with a tense encounter in a dusty town where Doone's prized horse is at the center of a desperate race against time. The stakes are high for Bill Gregg, a troubled man on urgent business, leading to a series of confrontations with Doone as their fates become intertwined. The opening of the book sets the stage for an exhilarating adventure. It begins with the arrival of Bill Gregg, who urgently seeks a horse to reach Stillwater. His quest leads him to Ronicky Doone's extraordinary mare, but he is warned against taking her without permission from Doone. In his desperation, he seizes the mare, drawing the ire of her owner. This tension escalates into a confrontation that not only reveals Doone's expertise but also sets the groundwork for a complex relationship between the two men, particularly as they traverse themes of loyalty, urgency, and the impacts of their choices. As the story unfurls, the stakes of their intertwined fates promise plenty of action and emotional depth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
