“This is a book that grabs you in the first few pages and doesn’t release you until the end. The comparisons to Cormac McCarthy are easy. The sense of place and unforgettable characters are similar to McCarthy but Machart is his own man. This is a story you haven’t read before and won’t easily forget. Part Greek tragedy and all Western, this is one of the best first novels to come along this year.” -Michael, Ravenna Third Place, Seattle
