The latest in the Event Group Thriller series by David L. Golemon is to be released in hardback on 16th of this month by Thomas Dunne Books.
David is the bestselling author of Leviathan and Primeval and it back at his best with this fast-paced addition to the Event series, entitled Legacy.
The United States is ready to return to the moon in an attempt to recapture the heady days of the Apollo program. The first mission is designed to find the frozen water needed, if they are to build a base from which they can launch the attack on Mars.
But the first mission uncovers a shocking revelation, remote robots unearth human remains and a base that was destroyed millennia ago. Forensic analysis back at NASA reveals the ancient corpse to be over seven hundred million years old.
The news spreads quickly around the world and soon nations are thrown into collision as governments are pitted against their own citizens and the flames of fundamentalism start a conflagration that threatens to engulf the planet, as the race to return to the moon begins.
The Event Group is tasked to unravel the mystery of the ancient visitor and keep the world from descending into chaos. Colonel Jack Collins once again leads a team of the world’s greatest scientists and philosophers on a journey that will take the team into space.
Whilst the battle over the truth of human heritage rages, the Event Group realise that this may not be just humanity’s war – it could be that something, or someone, else is coming back to finish a war they started almost a billion years ago.
Praise for the novels of David L. Golemon:
“Golemon knows how to make readers turn the pages, and Primeval will only further enhance his reputation.” –Booklist
“A promising debut sure to satisfy fans of The X-Files . . . the plotting and hair’s-breadth escapes evoke some of the early work of Preston and Child, and the author’s premise offers a rich lode of materials for inevitable sequels.” –Publishers Weekly
“A flat-out adrenaline rush.” –New York Times bestselling authors Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens
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.
