A TV Series on AMC starring Pierce Brosnan and co-written by Philipp Meyer.Now in paperback, the critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling epic, a saga of land, blood, and power that follows the rise of one unforgettable Texas family from the Comanche raids of the 1800s to the oil booms of the 20th century.Part epic of Texas, part classic coming-of-age story, part unflinching examination of the bloody price of power, The Son is a gripping and utterly transporting novel that maps the legacy of violence in the American west with rare emotional acuity, even as it presents an intimate portrait of one family across two centuries.Eli McCullough is just twelve-years-old when a marauding band of Comanche storm his Texas homestead and brutally murder his mother and sister, taking him as a captive. Despite their torture and cruelty, Eli--against all odds--adapts to life with the Comanche, learning their ways, their language, taking on a new name, finding a place as the adopted son of the chief of the band, and fighting their wars against not only other Indians, but white men, too-complicating his sense of loyalty, his promised vengeance, and his very understanding of self. But when disease, starvation, and westward expansion finally decimate the Comanche, Eli is left alone in a world in which he belongs nowhere, neither white nor Indian, civilized or fully wild.Deftly interweaving Eli's story with those of his son, Peter, and his great-granddaughter, JA, The Son deftly explores the legacy of Eli's ruthlessness, his drive to power, and his life-long status as an outsider, even as the McCullough family rises to become one of the richest in Texas, a ranching-and-oil dynasty of unsurpassed wealth and privilege.Harrowing, panoramic, and deeply evocative, The Son is a fully realized masterwork in the greatest tradition of the American canon-an unforgettable novel that combines the narrative prowess of Larry McMurtry with the knife edge sharpness of Cormac McCarthy.

Texas, 1849. En Comanche-raid mot trettonåriga Eli McCulloughs hem leder till att hans familj mördas, egendom bränns och han fångas. Under tre år lever Eli bland indianerna, knyter an till dem och nästan glömmer sitt ursprung. När stammen decimeras av en epidemi återvänder Eli till de vita. Elis grymhet och pragmatism avspeglas i ödena för framtida McCullough-generationer. Kärlek, ära, barn—alla offras för ambitioner när denna familj blir en av de mest inflytelserika i Texas. Men, liksom alla mäktiga dynastier, måste denna familj så småningom stå inför konsekvenserna av sina val. Ett mästerligt verk som rör själen, 'The Son' fördjupar oss i det förflutnas andedräkt och vår egen koppling till våra förfäders synder, och lägger till ett annat anmärkningsvärt kapitel i historiska romaner.

Isaac English vil væk fra den rustne amerikanske drøm i byen Buell. Han vil skabe sig en ny tilværelse i Californien, men da han forsøger at slippe væk fra elendigheden, trækker den ham tilbage igen; Han og vennen Billy bliver ufrivilligt involveret i et mord kun et par kilometer uden for byen. Rust er en fortælling om venskab og om kampen for at få del i den frihed, som USA spejler sig i; en fortælling fra den del af USA, der ikke er defineret af drømme, men af begrænsninger. Hvor mennesker lever og dør i trailerparks, og hvor selv de modigste og ædleste ikke kan undslippe den spiral af skyld og skam, der er underklassens lod.
