Let David Lynn Golemon thrill you with Event from the magnificent Event Group series
IT WAS THE BIGGEST COVER-UP IN HUMAN HISTORY. AND IT WAS KEPT HIDDEN FOR A REASON.
But when a new danger emerges, there are some who know that we have seen this before. And that in order to survive, we must revisit the past.
Only inside the Event Group, a top secret government agency made up of the brightest and best from the worlds of science, philosophy and the military, dedicated to uncovering the hidden truths behind history's greatest myths and legends, are there the skills, knowledge and resources to face a threat to our very existence.
Taking the lead is the agency's newest recruit, Major Jack Collins. Despatched to the desert wastelands of the American Southwest, Collins and his team will have to draw on understanding from the past - and unlikely an unlikely ally - to win their battle for mankind's future . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Former Special Ops member Golemon puts his military experience to good use in this promising debut sure to satisfy fans of The X-Files. Maj. Jack Collins, whose career was jeopardized after he testified truthfully before Congress about a debacle in Afghanistan, is given a new lease on life after he's drafted into the Event Group, a covert organization that hides behind the facade of the National Archives. The group's shadowy leaders reveal to Collins that they have secretly served every U.S. president since Lincoln, tracking down artifacts like Noah's Ark in the interest of national security. Collins receives a baptism of fire when the downing of a military aircraft appears to be the work of the same kind of UFOs responsible for the legendary Roswell incident in 1947. While the climactic scenes may be a bit too reminiscent of the parody horror film Tremors for some, 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 the inevitable sequels.
