The Rock comments on his new book
“I’m honored to co-write this book and tell this story alongside Nick, with the incredible support of our partners at Crown. This isn’t just a gangster story — it’s about power, identity, and what was taken from the Hawaiian people,” Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson said in a statement. “What drew me to this project wasn’t just the action and the intensity — for me, this story hits close to home. It’s not just history, it’s personal.
“My own family lived through parts of this era, and I’ve seen firsthand the complicated legacy it left behind. Telling this story is a way to honor our Polynesian culture, and honor where we come from and share the untold history of what really happened in paradise.”
