As another reviewer said, "it is a tough act to follow, but someone had to do it..." This novel continues the story set forth in Mario Puzo's famed "The Godfather" novel and is set in the time period between the end of that novel (the 1950s) and about 1963. Although the novel overlaps the Godfather II story, it does not really focus on it, and Hyman Roth plays only a bit part in this story, not the central role he played in Godfather II as the main adversary. No doubt this is intentional, leaving open the option of writing a second novel which might essentially be the novelization of Godfather II.
