Golemon's fanciful fifth Event Group thriller (after Leviathan) offers an alternative view of what happened to Nicholas II and his family at Ekaterinburg in 1918. After two of the last Russian czar's children, Anastasia and Alexei, survive and escape to Canada, the story leaps forward to 1962, when a secret American plane on a mission to decapitate the Soviet leadership crashes near Ekaterinburg. In the present, vicious Russian gangsters begin a bloody search for the legendary "Twins" of Peter the Great, "twin diamonds the size of ostrich eggs." When the gangsters abduct CIA agent Lynn Simpson, they pay the price for being unaware that she's the sister of series hero Col. Jack Collins of the Event Group, a shadowy U.S. government agency that specializes in bizarre assignments. Collins and the team he leads to rescue Simpson encounter trigger-happy bad guys, Quebec separatists plotting a coup, and intelligent bigfoot humanoids. Feeble attempts at realism don't redeem the silly plot.

Colonel Jack Collins and the Event Group search for a lost Russian treasure in Golemon's latest thriller. A rare diamond and a battered journal launch a quest to uncover secrets about the Romanov dynasty. When Russian assassins kidnap Collins' sister, the colonel and his team must ramp up quickly, as the missing treasure is the key to saving her life. The group ends up in Northern Canada, where they must enter a cave network believed by locals to be home to legendary creatures called They Who Follow. These monsters are said to devour human flesh; no one has ever survived a journey into their caves. Golemon combines his typical action-adventure fare with more thriller elements this time, and he focuses more on the personal stakes of his characters. With or without enhancements to his basic formula, Golemon knows how to make readers turn the pages, and Primeval will only further enhance his reputation. --Jeff Ayers
