Description: In this modern-day Western--his first novel since "Cities of the Plain" completed his acclaimed, bestselling Border Trilogy--McCarthy pens a harrowing story of a war that society wages on itself, an enduring meditation of the ties of love and blood and duty that inform lives and shape destinies.
Review Quotes: "Profoundly disturbing and gorgeously rendered. The most accessible of all his works." --Washington Post
"A narrative that rips along like hell on wheels [in a] race with the devil [on] a stage as big as Texas." --The New York Times Book Review "Expertly staged and pitilessly lighted. It feels like a genuine diagnosis of the postmillennial malady, a scary illumination of the oncoming darkness." --Time "A cause for celebration. He is nothing less than our greatest living writer, and this is a novel that must be read and remembered." --Houston Chronicle
