This novel is daring in its content and form. Moreover, it is a magnificent work of fiction in the richness of its characterization and the sophistication of its plot. It is marked by subtle humor and thrilling surprises. The novel is about a biased, narrow-minded young man who has created his own horrible world, and then he tries to escape from it, but it hunts him down and the consequences turn tragic for him and for everyone else. He later realizes the magnitude of the past horrors he has created while working in his new high-end secretive security job. The events that start out as an ordinary story develop into a series of real action horror soon after.
He sets out to retrieve from an overseas location the lost son of a client, who had a relationship with a prostitute many years earlier and had that child with her. Meanwhile, the protagonist is also trying to find the unscrupulous murderer of a mother in Miami for another client. As that young protagonist himself is carrying an overwhelming guilt on his back, he makes tragic blunders in the tasks assigned to him; he inadvertently gets caught up in a horrible international intrigue and, simultaneously, finds himself entangled in the oddities of the political and social conflict and discord that are sweeping American society. The events that start out as an ordinary story become doomed to develop into a series of real action horror. From the start, the protagonist faces moral challenges that later define his fate and evolve into terrible catastrophes that tragically affect everyone else. Beside the action and suspense, the novel is a sophisticated work of writing fraught with classical references. The novel also carries significant political and social undertones. Based on a true story, many of the real names have been changed. The reader lives through this horrible real-life story and becomes a part of the predicament of the Kafkaesque protagonist as it is everyone's excruciating experience in life as well. This is a novel of no cookie-cutter characters. It is daring and unique and nothing is taboo. The author, a long-time forward-thinking, visionary, enlightened writer, opposed to political obscurantism, impartially re-evaluates Liberalism and Conservatism from the ground up. He wades daringly in every taboo one heard of. No Land for Dead Men is a chilling microcosm of the world and a frightening summary of human history.
