Synopsis

Twenty thousand years ago, when early man made his way to North America, a tribe of prehistoric predators made the great trek as well. But once in the new continent, the giant beasts disappeared, whether into hiding or extinction, no one knew. Centuries later, a battered journal - the only evidence left from the night of the Romanovs' execution - turns up in a rare bookstore. As the U.S. and Russians vie for the truth, and the lost Romanov treasure, they collide with a prehistoric predator thought long extinct. It's up to the Event Group to lay to rest the legends. On an expedition into the wilds of British Columbia, Colonel Jack Collins and his team make a horrifying discovery in the continent's last deep wilderness, where men have been vanishing for centuries.

About this title

Review:

Praise for David L. Golemon and the Event Group series "Golemon combines his typical action-adventure fare with more thriller elements this time, and he focuses more on the personal stakes of his characters. ...Golemon knows how to make readers turn the pages, and Primeval will only further enhance his reputation." --Booklist "Fans of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea will enjoy Golemon's recasting of the Jules Verne novel." --Publishers Weekly on Leviathan "Golemon's third novel in the Event Group series proves to be his best yet....a mix of the James Rollins action-heavy adventure, the military gadgetry of Tom Clancy, the pacing of the television series 24, and the conspiracy theories devoured by fans of the radio show Coast to Coast AM." --Booklist on Ancients "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. Don't miss it." --Megalith.com "The author...draws the reader in with an intriguing prologue...satisfying adventure." --Publishers Weekly on Legend "Golemon can write action sequences with the best of them, and he lands a solid uppercut with this book. The depth of science fiction...is surprising and ingenious." --SFSignal.com on Legend "The Roswell Incident--whether legend, fact, or some combination of both--has inspired countless novels and movies over the years, but David Lynn Golemon's 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 "Fans of UFO fiction will find this a great read, and fans of military fiction won't be disappointed." --SFsignal.com on Event Golemon combines his typical action-adventure fare with more thriller elements this time, and he focuses more on the personal stakes of his characters.

From the Back Cover:

THE EVENT GROUP WILL TAKE NO PRISONERS

Twenty thousand years ago, when early man made his way to North America, a tribe of prehistoric predators made the great trek as well. But these giant, deadly beasts seemingly became extinct...and humans lived to become the most violent creatures on Earth. Man's brutal nature reached a boiling-point with the execution of Russia's last czar and his entire family. But some believed that the czar's children, Alexei and Anastasia, survived--and came to America with the treasury of the Romanov dynasty. That legend was born on July 17, 1918--and lives on to this day...

AS THEY DARE TO UNEARTH AN ANCIENT EVIL

Almost a hundred years later, a battered journal--the only evidence left from the night of the Romanovs' execution--turns up in a rare bookstore. Suddenly everyone's trying to decipher the location of the Romanov treasure...and people are turning up dead along the way. Enter the Event Group, the most secret organization in U.S. history. Colonel Jack Collins is charged with finding out what really happened to Alexei and Anastasia. To get to the truth, he and his team will have to travel to the continent's last deep wilderness where men have been vanishing for centuries-- and come face to face with a mythical enemy from the dawn of time....

"Sure to satisfy fans of The X-Files."--Publishers Weekly
