    David L. Golemon

    David L. Golemon is the author of the Event Group Thrillers, including Event, Ancients, Leviathan and Primeval. Legend, the second book in the series, was nominated for a RITA award for paranormal fiction. Golemon learned an early love of reading from his father, who told him that the written word, unlike other forms, allows readers to use their own minds, the greatest special effects machines of all—an idea Golemon still believes. The only thing he loves more than writing is research, especially historical research, and he sees the subtext of his Event novels as being that understanding history allows us to create a better future. Golemon grew up in Chino, California, and now makes his home in New York.

      I nearly stopped reading this book. I'd rate the first 2/3s a 1.5 star, and the final 1/3 a 4.5 star. The main character, Major Jack Collins, does very little until the end but once things kick in gear, it's a helluva ride.The story is about The Event Group, a super secret US organization that is "...dedicated to uncovering the hidden truths behind the myths and legends propagated throughout world history..." In this case, the story revolves around the Roswell Incident that began in 1947 and sees another alien encounter now.Since this is the first Event Group book, I was more forgiving for its slowness early on because author David Lynn Golemon was taking his sweet time building out the Group, its hierarchy, and characters. I like more fast-paced storytelling and Golemon finally proves he can do that towards the end. I hope the next book doesn't take as long to get off the ground. If so, I'll stop reading the series.

      I was unsure going into this whether it was going to be any good or just gimmicky and cheesy so I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be not only an action filled and entertaining story but also an interesting take on the whole aliens visit earth genre.Would recommend.
    • 4/5
      Great thriller. Think I found it in a used book store, can't recall, but great story. Characters weren't flat or anything.
    • 4/5
      fast
      dangerous and disturbing far fetched snd enjoyable
    • 5/5
      Bumpy start but not a bad read.
    • 4/5
      I found this book entertaining, if more than a little far-fetched. Not that I have an issue with the premise of the Event Group. Obviously, the entire notion is borderline science fiction. But the seeming indestructibility of Jack Collins and his closest compatriots does require one to suspend their disbelief a bit. I suppose, given the general themes of this book and all the others that follow it in the series, suspension of disbelief is just part of the package. I did like it well enough to wind up reading all the rest of the books in the series this far. It has some cliched characterizations, and some inconsistencies in the characters as well. For example, it seemed to take Jack an inordinate length of time to figure out how to fight the dreaded creatures when it was immediately obvious to me from the moment that the solution was first mentioned in the story. Jack's a smart guy. I don't think the solution should have escaped him for as long as it did. Having said all this, though, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, fast-paced read. There's plenty of action here, and the characters are quite likable. The book is somewhat predictable, but don't let that keep you away.
    • 4/5
      X-files meets specila forces, that says it all. If one or both of those phrases you'll enjoy this book and the ones that follow. Good solid book with characters that make you cheer and tense up when the action gets going. Take my word sit down and enjoy a coffee or a ice cold Mt Dew as read a good adventure.
