Published to coincide with the release of Academy Award-winning filmmaker Oliver Stoneâ€™s major film of Savages from Universal Pictures in July 2012â€”starring John Travolta, Blake Lively, Benecio Del Toro, Uma Thurman, Emile Hirsch, Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Johnson, and Salma Hayekâ€”this is the much-anticipated prequel to Don Winslowâ€™s acclaimed New York Times bestseller.

In Savages, Don Winslow introduced Ben and Chon, twenty-something best friends who risk everything to save the girl they both love, O. Among the most celebrated thrillers in recent memoryâ€”and now a major motion picture directed by Academy Awardâ€“winning filmmaker Oliver Stoneâ€”Savages was picked as a best book of the year by Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly, Janet Maslin in The New York Times, and Sarah Weinman in the Los Angeles Times.

Now, in this high-octane prequel, Winslow reaches back in time to tell the story of how Ben, Chon, and O became the people they are. Spanning from 1960s Southern California to the recent past, The Kings of Cool is a breathtakingly original saga of family in all its formsâ€”fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, friends and lovers. As the trio at the center of the book does battle with a cabal of drug dealers and crooked cops, they come to learn that their future is inextricably linked with their parentsâ€™ history. A series of breakneck twists and turns puts the two generations on a collision course, culminating in a stunning showdown that will force Ben, Chon, and O to choose between their real families and their loyalty to one another.

Fast-paced, provocative, and wickedly funny, The Kings of Cool is a spellbinding love story for our times from a master novelist at the height of his powers. It is filled with Winslowâ€™s trademark talentsâ€”complex characters, sharp dialogue, blistering social commentaryâ€”that have earned him an obsessive following. The result is a book that will echo in your mind and heart long after youâ€™ve turned the last page.
