Publisher Description
Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, instead finds men shot dead, a load of heroin, and more than $2 million in cash. Packing the money out, he knows, will change everything. But only after two more men are murdered does a victim's burning car lead Sheriff Bell to the carnage out in the desert, and he soon realizes how desperately Moss and his young wife need protection. One party in the failed transaction hires an ex-Special Forces officer to defend his interests against a mesmerizing freelancer, while on either side are men accustomed to spectacular violence and mayhem. The pursuit stretches up and down and across the border, each participant seemingly determined to answer what one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life? A harrowing story of a war that society is waging on itself, and an enduring meditation on the ties of love and blood and duty that inform lives and shape destinies, No Country for Old Men is a novel of extraordinary resonance and power.
Customer Reviews
Amazing!
Just great!
Outstanding
Masterful writing. Great narrator. I’m very finicky about narrators, and this guy is one of the best. This has become one of my favorite audiobooks. Dialogue is perfect and I love the pacing.
Excellence
This is my favorite audiobook. Early McCarthy has a lot more poetic imagery than plot and is more abstract than it is immersive. No Country For Old Men is so excellent because McCarthy synched up his poetic voice and abstract flavor in unity with the plot and the result is a work that is as touching as it is immersive.
