The very one. The novelist is Brian Garfield.


that doest make since...they made like what 4 sequels to the first one...how is this a sequel to that?


The film sequels (starring Bronson) to Death Wish were not based on the novels. They kept the Paul Kersey character but did not follow the books at all. They were created out of whole cloth by the screenwriters, producers and directors.

I've not read the book but my understanding is that "Death Sentence" with Kevin Bacon follows a little more closely to the "Death Sentence" book by Garfield, although it too makes some changes. So it's based on the second book, though the MOVIE is not a sequel...

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
