<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BEST SELLER • The first of a two-volume masterpiece, The Passenger series, from t<b>he Pulitzer Prize–winning author of <i>The Road</i> <b>• T</b>he story of a salvage diver, haunted by loss, afraid of the watery deep, pursued for a conspiracy beyond his understanding, and longing for a death he cannot reconcile with God. <br><br><b>A <b><b><i>NEW YORK TIMES </i></b>BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR<br><br>"Blends the rowdy humor of some of McCarthy’s early novels with the parched tone of his more apocalyptic later work." <b>—</b><i>The New York Times</i><br><br><i>Stella Maris</i>, the second volume in <i>The Passenger</i> series, is available now.<br><br>1980, PASS CHRISTIAN, MISSISSIPPI: It is three in the morning when Bobby Western zips the jacket of his wet suit and plunges from the Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the crash site are the pilot’s flight bag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit—by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul.<br> <br>Traversing the American South, from the garrulous barrooms of New Orleans to an abandoned oil rig off the Florida coast, <i>The Passenger</i> is a breathtaking novel of morality and science, the legacy of sin, and the madness that is human consciousness.</b></b></b></b>
