Omnio "King" Falcone is the grandson of Don "The Butcher" Falcone, the feared and powerful boss of Detroit's reclusive Mafia faction, known simply as the "Syndicate." As the last Falcone, King is the heir-apparent to his grandfather's throne. Except there is one problem. A big one. He is a "difetto," not of pure Sicilian blood. As a result, he has been ostracized by much of the Syndicate. Even worse, the Commission, a secret pantheon of Mafia Bosses from all over the country, has named his Machiavellian uncle the new Boss. But King is a brilliant tactician. Even with the odds stacked against him, he rises through the Syndicate ranks. Many of the Family capos have grown to respect and fear him, for he commands a faithful crew of ambitious young wiseguys who have sworn their lives to him.

I listen to audiobooks because I’m not a big reader, but I love a good mafia story. I follow the author's fan pages and am a little obsessed with King. =) I started reading the print book, and was hooked. I found out that this was in audiobook, and downloaded it last night. I’m only three hours in, and I can’t say enough about this!! It’s sooooo good. It’s like watching a movie in your mind. Gunner is my new favorite author, and I can’t stop listening. The narrator is GREAT. I hope volume 2 comes out soon. If you like The Godfather or the Sopranos or Goodfellas, you HAVE to get this!!

WHY won't authors use a professional narrator?????
Revisado: 03-09-15
I haven't the faintest clue WHY authors refuse to use professional narrators. I don't know who this doctor is, but I was intrigued by his book. Unfortunately, he has a bad speech impediment and pronounces all of the words with an "l" in it as a "w." So every stinkin time he says the word "blood" (which is about a million) it comes out as "bwood." He sounds like Elmer Fudd. I'm sure he has a terrific brain and is extremely knowledgeable, but my little ol' brain over here could not concentrate on the content because I kept getting distracted by his pronunciation. I'm sure the content is good, but I'm moving on and returning this for my credit back. I couldn't even make it past the first chapter. The book would probably be SOOOO much more impactful for listeners if he used a professional. That's what they're for!!!
