Summary
Former Special Ops member Golemon puts his military
experience to good use in this promising debut sure to
satisfy fans of
The X-Files. Maj. Jack Collins, whose career was
jeopardized after he testified truthfully before Congress
about a debacle in Afghanistan, is given a new lease on life
after he's drafted into the Event Group, a covert
organization that hides behind the facade of the National
Archives. The group's shadowy leaders reveal to Collins that
they have secretly served every U.S. president since Lincoln,
tracking down artifacts like Noah's Ark in the interest of
national security. Collins receives a baptism of fire when
the downing of a military aircraft appears to be the work of
the same kind of UFOs responsible for the legendary Roswell
incident in 1947. While the climactic scenes may be a bit too
reminiscent of the parody horror film
Tremors for some, the plotting and hair's-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.
(Sept.)
"A promising debut… evokes some of the early work of
Preston and Child."
