The sequel,
authorised by Mario Puzo's Estate, to the bestselling The
Godfather. 'The bloody victory of the Corleone Family was not
complete,' begins the final chapter of Mario Puzo's The
Godfather, 'until a year of delicate manoeuvring established
Michael Corleone as the most powerful Family chief in the United
States.' The Godfather: The Lost Years takes place in the years
1955-65, but it is built upon the story of that 'year of
delicate political manoeuvring' - and how, in winning the battle
of that year, Michael Corleone set the stage to lose the war:
the war to make the Family legitimate, the war to keep the
Corleones supremely in power, the war to stay true to his
father's wishes, the war to give not just his Family but his
family a safe and happy life. The Godfather: The Lost Years is
not just a sequel. A magnificent novel in its own right, by an
acclaimed young American novelist, it traces the nexus of
ambitious, audacious decisions that Michael Corleone implements,
their ultimate failure, and, after the Family's literal and
figurative years in the wilderness (of Las Vegas), Michael's
literal, physical return to New York, and his attempts to regain
control there.
