Thirty-five years ago, Mario Puzo's great American tale, The Godfather, was published, and popular culture was indelibly changed. Now, in The Godfather Returns, acclaimed novelist Mark Winegardner continues the story, the years not covered in Puzo's best-selling book or in Francis Ford Coppola's classic films.

It is 1955. Michael Corleone has won a bloody victory in the war among New York's crime families. Now he wants to consolidate his power, save his marriage, and take his family into legitimate businesses. To do so, he must confront his most dangerous adversary yet, Nick Geraci, a former boxer who worked his way through law school as a Corleone street enforcer, and who is every bit as deadly and cunning as Michael. Their personal cold war will run from 1955 to 1962, exerting immense influence on the lives of America's most powerful criminals and their loved ones.

Sweeping from New York and Washington to Las Vegas and Cuba, The Godfather Returns is the spellbinding story of America's criminal underworld at mid-century and its intersection with the political, legal, and entertainment empires. Mark Winegardner brings an original voice and vision to Mario Puzo's mythic characters while creating several equally unforgettable characters of his own. The Godfather Returns stands on its own as a triumph in a tale about what we love, yearn for, and sometimes have reason to fear...family.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Godfather Returns is not only a real book by a real writer. It's also a real pleasure, a fine swirling epic: bitter, touching, funny, and true." (The New York Times Book Review)
"A phenomenally entertaining, psychologically rich saga that spans the entire Godfather years imagined in novel and film by Mario Puzo....A wholly absorbing novel that's written beautifully, with great skill and passion. Godfather fans will love this tale." (Publishers Weeekly)
Faithful Continuation • Rich Character Development • Engaging Storyline • Authentic Atmosphere • Seamless Writing Style

Narrator Sott Brick did a brilliant job and the book itself is as good or better than the original. Wonderful detail in many interesting areas. One of my favorite audibles yet.

Fantastic entertainment

The Family Corleone and this book are excellent extensions of the Godfather saga. It is a shame Puzo didn't want to write them. Thankfully, Mark Winegardner took up the challenge and wrote a great book.

excellent

I can honestly say that I never thought that it was not Puzo writing, the book was seamless in its follow through and carried out to a satisfactory ending, although I wish it was still continnuing. Winegardners writing leaves one with the feeling that the characters were alive and real.

Puzo can rest easily, the Godfather Saga is now in the very capable hands of Mark Winegardner. He did a brilliant job fleshing out our favorite characters from Puzoland. An extremely satisfying read, I was sorry when it was over. Kudos to Scott Brick for another masterful narration.

starts off a little slow and at first I had a hard time adjusting to the subtle differences period but once you do this it really is a great book and lives up to the legend

slow start , great book

If you are a fan, it’s very much worth the listen or read! I have went through both of them many times because the characters are so well written.

Worth it

What a blast from the past, and literally too! Winegardner takes us back through bits of the lives of our favourite Mafia clan, and even though it is 30 years or so since I read the original it was just like reliving it again (or maybe one of the movies). Altogether an enjoyable day or two spent reading "whatever became of...?"

Puzo lives

It may not be Puzo, but the rhythm and style of the storytelling sure is similar. The plot has all the depth of the original 'Godfather' and covers all the events that the first books stayed away from.

Like the Original

After listening to The Godfather I was reluctant to download the next book when I saw a different author penned it. But I eventually did because I love Scott Brick as a narrator and trust the novels he brings to life are always enjoyable to be carried along with in his narration. Boy am I glad I didn’t. mark’s sequel in the Corleon Saga is amazing. He sticks true to the characters we all grew to know and love in the original and broadness our perspective much more than was done in the Coppola movies. The way Fredo, Michael, and Tom’s characters are explored is magnificent and enjoyable to dive into. Highly recommend this novel.

Worthy of being in The Godfather Saga
