Descripción editorial
Let David Lynn Golemon thrill you with Legend from the magnificent Event Group series.
BURIED FOR CENTURIES, THE VATICAN'S DARKEST SECRET IS ABOUT TO BE DISCOVERED
And that attracts the attention of the Event Group, a top secret government organisation made up of soldiers, scientists and historians, dedicated to uncovering the truth behind history's greatest myths.
When an old manuscript, buried deep within the Vatican archives, suggests that the legendary lost city of El Dorado may be more than a myth, it also reveals the terrible price that's been paid to protect it.
An Event Group team, led by Major Jack Collins, is dispatched to the jungles of Amazon Basin. Their mission: a quest that has over centuries meant disappearance and death. For Collins and his people neither is an option . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Golemon's second thriller fails to deliver on the promise of his first, Event (2006), which introduced the exploits of a supersecret U.S. government agency, the Event Group. The author, a former U.S. Army Special Ops member, draws the reader in with an intriguing prologue: in 1534, explorer Francisco Pizarro and his men, in their search for El Dorado, encounter a vicious creature determined to guard the legendary treasure trove; in 1876, at Custer's last stand, Capt. Myles Keogh takes to his death "a secret from hundreds of years in the past." In the present day, the intrepid men and women of the Event Group follow the trail of Pizarro's expedition in an effort both to find the lost Incan gold Pizarro was seeking and to rescue the U.S. president's daughter, who has disappeared while on the same quest. A shortage of well-developed characters and plausible scientific speculation, however, makes this a less satisfying adventure than its predecessor.
