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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTraversing the American South, from the garrulous barrooms of New Orleans to an abandoned oil rig off the Florida coast, \u003ci\u003eThe Passenger\u003c\/i\u003e is a breathtaking novel of morality and science, the legacy of sin, and the madness that is human consciousness.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe novels of the American writer Cormac McCarthy have received a number of literary awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
