β¦ Synopsis
From 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. (Aug.)

Review
Sure to satisfy fans of The X-Files.Publishers Weekly on EVENT
A tale worthy of the giants of the genre like Clive Cussler, James Rollins, and Matthew Reilly, Legend is a definite must-read for action and adventure fans. Dont miss it.Megalith.com
The Roswell Incidentwhether legend, fact, or some combination of bothhas inspired countless novels and movies over the years, but David Lynn Golemons Event peels back the layers of Roswell with refreshing originality. The action is spectacularly cinematic, the characters compelling, and the story is a flat-out adrenaline rush that pits real-world, cutting-edge military technology against a literally out-of-this-world threat. Even better, the Event Group itself is one of the best fictional agencies to arise in the literature of government conspiracies.New York Times bestselling authors Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens
Golemon puts his military experience to good use in this promising debut sure to satisfy fans of The X-Files.the plotting and hairs-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.Publishers Weekly
Fans of UFO fiction will find this a great read, and fans of military fiction wont be disappointed either.SFSIGNAL.COM
Imagine mixing in a blender a Tom Clancy novel with the movie Predator and the television series The X-Files.readers who enjoy nonstop action and lots of flying bullets will enjoy Golemons first book in a projected series.Library Journal
