To Don Raymonde Aprile's children he was a loyal family member, their father's adopted "nephew." To the FBI he was a man who would rather ride his horses than do Mob business. No one knew why Aprile, the last great American Don, had adopted Astorre Viola many years before in Sicily; no one suspected how he had carefully trained him ... and how, while the Don's children claimed respectable careers in America, Astorre Viola waited for his time to come.

Now his time has arrived. The Don is dead, his murder one bloody act in a drama of ambition and deceit --- from the deadly compromises made by an FBI agent to the greed of two crooked NYPD detectives and the frightening plans of a South American Mob kingpin. In a collision of enemies and lovers, betrayers and loyal soldiers, Astorre Viola will claim his destiny. Because after all these years, this moment is in his blood ...

Critique About Books Omerta (Mario Puzo's Mafia)

An interesting fiction work done by Mari puzo. The book mainly demonstrate about a character (Astorre) who is born for a great don Vincenzo Zeno in Sicily and during his last few minutes before his death he hands over his sons responsibility to be taken care by his follower Raymond Aprile. Raymond Aprile who is a don himself in america takes care of Astorre along with his three other children, during the childhood of Astorre the don would take him to sicily to teach Astorre how to run business

I honestly think this wasn't Puzo. if you love him don't read this one . its a very ordinary book nothing like The Godfather or The Sicilian

As usual Puzo never lets me down! Incredible. This is how a book should be written. I'm so satisfied.

Far less charming and inferior in terms of plot and characterization , this novel by Mario Puzo is still an atempt to foreshadow the Sicilian code of silence. lets the sky fall , but dare not speak about your family , friends or even foes , in front of anyone.

Mafia intrigue and flashbacks, treachery, a budding yet damaged love story and ruthless characters on both sides of the law. I really loved it! Astorre Viola is up there with Cross Clericuzio as one of my favourite Puzo characters. Quirky, qualified and never quite what he seems. Yes, some of the prose is 'dumbed down' from some of his earlier work (put down to the fact the

I finished this book a few days ago and I still don't know how I feel about Astorre Viola. With Omerta, Puzo re-envisions the Mafia Don in a world where old Mafioso traditions have wasted away. Ideas of honor and nobility, of executing uncompromising and unforgiving justice, of self-righteousness and God or King complexes, have all but disappeared. Things such as greed and unnecessary accumulation of power have now taken their place at the table. Astorre Viola discovers his roots in those old
