The the Godfather: The Lost Years tracks the notorious Corleone Family in the period between 1955 and 1965. However, the developments in the story are based on 'delicate political manoeuvring' that may have been won by Michael Corleone, but was actually the foreboding for his defeat in the war that would have made the Family 'legitimate' and invincible: A war that Michael had so desperately tried to win to be able to lead normal and legitimate lives.

So how exactly is it that Michael fails? Was it a deep - rooted conspiracy or something more? This book is not just a mere sequel to Mario Puzo's the Godfather, but a commendable piece of work in its own right.

The Godfather: The Lost Years was published by RHUK in 2005. It is available in paperback.
