Cormac McCarthy's final chapter in The Border Trilogy finds the two heroes of the earlier books working together on a ranch near the Tex-Mex border in the years following World War Two. The novel is more densely populated than the first two and the feeling of impending disaster hangs heavy, scored by McCarthy's legendary prose, apocalyptic and barren. The general feel is of a struggle between the blind machinations of an incomprehensible world and the heartfelt desires of two lost young men. Absolutely stunning.
