<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In his blistering new novel, Cormac McCarthy returns to the Texas-Mexico border, setting of his famed <i>Border Trilogy</i>. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. One day, a good old boy named Llewellyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by a bodyguard of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law-in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell-can contain.As Moss tries to evade his pursuers-in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives-McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning's headlines. <i>No Country for Old Men</i> is a triumph.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Profoundly disturbing and gorgeously renderedÉ. The most accessible of all his works." -<i>Washington Post</i>"A narrative that rips along like hell on wheels [in a] race with the devil [on] a stage as big as Texas." -<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> "Expertly staged and pitilessly lightedÉ. It feels like a genuine diagnosis of the postmillennial malady, a scary illumination of the oncoming darkness." -<i>Time</i>"A cause for celebrationÉ. He is nothing less than our greatest living writer, and this is a novel that must be read and remembered." -<i>Houston Chronicle</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Cormac McCarthy is the author of eight previous novels, and among his honors are the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
