Cuno Massey is the heart of Peter Brandvold’s popular .45-Caliber series. Starting as a young man with little experience, Cuno is quickly hardened by the harsh realities of the Old West. His character arc is defined by his rapid maturation and his development into a lethal marksman, earning a reputation that precedes him across the territories.
What makes Cuno a compelling character is the tension between his youth and the violence he is forced to commit. He isn’t a traditional hero; he’s a survivor driven by a personal code and the necessity of his situation. Throughout the series, readers follow Cuno as he navigates moral dilemmas, faces off against dangerous outlaws, and tries to find a semblance of peace in a world where the only thing that matters is how fast you can draw your .45.
