The Ultimate Reprisal is a work of fiction, loosely, based on actual events over the last century. It is a tribute to the ＂FORGOTTEN GENERATION＂, those Italian immigrants who struggled through hard times: hard work, rejection, discrimination and a Great Depression! As if not enough, they lost their sons and daughters in World War II. It is as well a tribute to their dedication and sacrifice to make a better life for us all. Let us never forget them!!! Through a carefully detailed plot, long held plans for justice and revenge, combine to render an original amalgamation of mystery, intrigue, vengeance and violence. Revolving around two powerful men, this family saga unfolds as Union Leader, William Farsace comes into conflict with Michael Palermo. Even though the men are related, Palermo decides that he needs his cousin out of his way in order to further his own nefarious plans. Mafia justice finally prevails on the unscrupulous businessman and settles a long standing family feud. The bad blood in this Italian family dates back to the turn of the last century when Patsy, an immigrant ＂Muratore＂, mason/bricklayer, arrives at Ellis Island in America.
