Book description
In Savages, Don Winslow introduced Ben and Chon,
twentysomething best friends who risk everything to save the girl they
both love, O. Among the most celebrated literary thrillers in recent
memory, Savages was a Top 10 Book of 2010 selection in the
New York Times, Entertainment Weekly and in
publications around the world.
Now, in his high-octane prequel, Winslow reaches back in time to
tell the story of how Ben, Chon and O became the people they are.
Spanning fifty years, from 1960s Southern California to the recent
past, it is a tale of family in all its forms - fathers and
sons, mothers and daughters, friends and lovers. As the younger
generation does battle with a cabal of drug dealers and crooked cops,
they come to learn that their future is inextricably linked with their
parents' history. A series of breakneck twists and turns puts the two
generations on a collision course, culminating in a stunning showdown
that will ultimately force Ben, Chon and O to choose between their
real families, and their love for each other.
