Legend

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 . . .

Reviews

Non-stop action . . . Imagine a Tom Clancy novel, the movie Predator and TV's The X-Files in a blender

—— Library Journal

A mix of James Rollins action-heavy adventure, the military gadgetry of Tom Clancy, and the pacing of 24

—— Booklist

Spectacularly cinematic ... a flat out adrenalin rush

—— New York Times bestselling authors Judith and Garfield Reeves Stevens

A very powerful novel. The writing is so good that it is difficult to believe that this is a debut

—— New Books Magazine

A highly assured debut ... we'll look forward to the next

—— Crime Fiction Lover

A great debut introducing an unusual lead character - I'm looking forward to reading more in the series - 5*s

—— Novel Heights

Detective Sergeant Fran Millhaven is just one of the best women copper characters you'll ever meet between the covers of a book . . . but Stark is the heart of this narrative. I am so looking forward to meeting him again . . . the moment Stark crosses over from soldier to CID detective is beautiful to behold. The action scenes, too, are terrific. Riveting

—— Dana Stabenow, author of , A Cold Day for Murder

Brilliantly written

Skilfully plotted, with a great clarity of style. I really enjoyed it

—— Alison Joseph

A great debut introducing an unusual lead character

—— Novel Heights

Very strong. Very well written

—— Crime Squad

Quite simply the best start to a new crime series - and the best debut - I've read in years. Joe Stark is such a terrific hero, full of flaws and compassion and the sort of quiet heroism that you rarely see these days, even in fiction. One of those books I want to bulk buy and press into the hands of everyone I know. The writing is top-notch, the action sequences are superlative, the characters crackle off the page and the dialogue whips and zings like bullets in the dust. Read it!

—— Sarah Hilary, author of Under the Skin and No Other Darkness

A powerful debut ... intensity, outstanding characterisation, passion, perfect dialogue and pinpoint plotting

—— Crime Review

An astonishingly assured debut novel

—— We Love This Book
