In 1983, Puzo's literary sequel to The Godfather was published. Entitled The Sicilian, it chronicles the life of "Giuliano" (Salvatore Giuliano) but the Corleone family is featured heavily throughout, Michael Corleone in particular. Chronologically this story sits between Michael's exile to Sicily in 1950 to his return to the USA.
In 2004, Random House published a sequel to Puzo's The Godfather, The Godfather Returns, by Mark Winegardner. A further sequel by Winegardner, The Godfather's Revenge, was released in 2006. The sequel novels continue the story from Puzo's novel.(but it is for a different author)
In 2012, a prequel, based on an unproduced screenplay by Mario Puzo, titled The Family Corleone was written by Ed Falco. It tells the story of how Vito Corleone rises to Don and how Sonny Corleone and Tom Hagen enter the family business.
hope this answer helps :)

I think you should go for the SICILIAN by Mario Puzo

It's a bit unclear what you are exactly seeking.
If you want to read through the Corleone Story, you should move ahead with Winegardner books (The Godfather Returns & The Godfather's Revenge) and Falco's The Family Corleone (not to be confused with Puzo's The Family) which is is a prequel to The Godfather. The literary quality of later books is still questionable.
If you want to keep reading Puzo and his Mafia world narrative, you may want to consider his Mafia Trilogy. Although, as per the widespread belief, it contains The Godfather, The Last Don and Omerta; I will recommend you to replace The Last Don with The Sicilian or go ahead and read all 4.
