    About this audiobook

    Two men marked by the boyhood adventures of All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing now stand together to confront a country changing beyond recognition. In the fall of 1952, John Grady Cole and Billy Parham are cowboys on a New Mexico ranch, encroached upon from the north by the military. On the southern horizon are the mountains of Mexico, where one of the men is drawn incessantly in this story of friendships and passion to a love as dangerous as it is inevitable.

      McCarthy transporta a sus lectores a la frontera —como en sus otras dos novelas de la trilogía, pero esta vez se centra sobre todo en Ciudad Juárez—, ahí volvemos a encontrarnos con Billy que fue el protagonista de The crossing y con un joven que se le parece mucho y para quien el vaquero sirve de mentor. Ese joven se enamora de una muchacha que trabaja de prostituta en un burdel de Ciudad Juárez a quien él está decidido va a salvar. La exploración del accionar humano, de la maldad, de la aridez del paisaje tan caros a McCarthy están aquí tan potentes como en las otras tres novelas de la trilogía, con una prosa cuidada que tiende a la aspereza —como el paisaje en el que se mueven sus personajes— McCarthy construye esta novela de forma impecable.
