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 . . .
