Best-selling author James Patterson and award-winning sportswriter Mike Lupica team up to launch this power-family football thriller, a pre-game for their next blockbuster, The House of Wolves.

Meet the Wolf. Joe Wolf. He’s the head of a multibillion-dollar empire—a newspaper, a holding company, a football team—and the head of a family that puts King Lear to shame.

His empire shows signs of crumbling when he’s approached with an “offer” to sell. It’s clear from the start that Joe is going to pay the ultimate price—and maybe more—if he refuses.

About the Creator

James Patterson is the world’s bestselling author and most trusted storyteller. He has created many enduring fictional characters and series, including Alex Cross, the Women’s Murder Club, Michael Bennett, Maximum Ride, Middle School, and I Funny. Among his notable literary collaborations are The President Is Missing, with President Bill Clinton, and the Max Einstein series, produced in partnership with the Albert Einstein Estate. Patterson’s writing career is characterized by a single mission: to prove that there is no such thing as a person who "doesn’t like to read", only people who haven’t found the right book. He’s given over three million books to schoolkids and the military, donated more than seventy million dollars to support education, and endowed over five thousand college scholarships for teachers. For his prodigious imagination and championship of literacy in America, Patterson was awarded the 2019 National Humanities Medal. The National Book Foundation presented him with the Literarian Award for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community, and he is also the recipient of an Edgar Award and nine Emmy Awards. He lives in Florida with his family.

A little bummed. I've been a fan of James Patterson since I was younger and started the Maximum Ride books (the first three), and have read a great many of his books since then. This one, regrettably, did not catch my interest at all. If you are into football, or storylines being told from the perspective of a giant ***** (many expletive nouns would easily fit there, so take your pick), then perhaps you will like it. And, hopefully, the rest of the actual book is better than this except. I do not own to devote any more time to it to find out though.

Preview to the book, not that interesting

Rating as a movie: R for adult content

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My thoughts: I have read a few of these, find-out-what-happens-next prequel-novellas. Most of them I don't discover until after I read the novel and after reading I'm glad I skipped as the preview gave major spoilers for the novel, like A Witness to a Trial and The Whistler. In this case, I'm glad I read it, there is no major spoiler unless the bad guys are revealed near the middle or end of the novel. As far as I can tell this does exactly what it's supposed to do, set up the novel. I was a little disappointed as reading the first few lines of the blurb for The House of Wolves gave away the ending to this story, but it was still a good ride.

Recommend to others?: Yes. This is a nice little story if you have Audible.

Very Nice Set Up

Not much of a mystery of crime
That’s what I was expecting but it’s not what I got
