Summary

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.

Outraged!

Okay, I have been an audible listener since December of 2006. I’ve listened to 448 titles and periodically I will fill in between books with an audible original. The ones I’ve listened to usually have an entire story. But, I am really really really upset today because the James Patterson original just left me hanging. It is nothing more than an advertisement for the upcoming book which I will not download because I never listen to James Patterson books. I was only looking for a short listen between novels and thought this might be a “fluff”listen. But I did expect a story-not a preview /advertisement. This bit of trickery is damaging to the audible originals brand.

Not the whole book, just a preview.

you're not getting me with the free first chapter nonsense. Make it more clear it's not the whole book. Not impresses

Teaser

Extremely short cliffhanger novella. An unknown person is going to kill the head of a sports team. That’s it. You have to buy the next book to find out who wants him dead and if he is dead

Decent start

This was average at best. Don’t really know the need for this pre-Story. I’ve read a lot better from patterson. I hope the next book is better…

Good stuff

This thing is short and sweet. Doesn't mess around getting to the point and leaves you on a quite the cliffhanger. Mostly whets the appetite for their next title, but it sure does work! Can't wait to listen to House of Wolves now.
