    About this audiobook

    The Event Group is comprised of the nation's most brilliant men and women in the fields of science, philosophy, and the military. Led by Major Jack Collins, their job is to find the truth behind the world's greatest unsolved myths. And this time, Collins and his crew will dare to uncover a terrifying secret-about the long-vanished tribe of the Incas-that's buried deep within the Amazon Basin. The last expedition into the depths and darkness of the Amazon claimed the lives of a female professor and her team. Now the Event Group, using cutting-edge technology exclusively designed by the U.S. military, will travel to the ends of the earth-from Brazil to the Little Bighorn to the Arlington National Cemetery-to bring new meaning to an ancient disaster.or bury the legend forever.or die trying.

    David L. Golemon

    David L. Golemon is the author of the Event Group Thrillers, including Event, Ancients, Leviathan and Primeval. Legend, the second book in the series, was nominated for a RITA award for paranormal fiction. Golemon learned an early love of reading from his father, who told him that the written word, unlike other forms, allows readers to use their own minds, the greatest special effects machines of all—an idea Golemon still believes. The only thing he loves more than writing is research, especially historical research, and he sees the subtext of his Event novels as being that understanding history allows us to create a better future. Golemon grew up in Chino, California, and now makes his home in New York.

      Cracking read. Interesting mix of fantasy and technology. Starting to see some character development.
    • 4/5
      The Event Group is on the case when a prior Group member needs help with a discovery in the Amazon that could shift the power of the world. Jack Collins and crew have to race to beat a South American business man and his gun for hire Col. Henri Farbeaux from reaching the missing team who may have discovered the lost city of El Dorado, only it is not exactly what they thought.

      his is fun stuff for sure, a sort of blending of Robert Doherty's "Area 51" series and the television show "Stargate SG1". Pure entertainment at it's best!
    • 4/5
      This is a new author for me and I can't wait to read the rest of his works. If you were a fan of the TV series "The X-Files" you might enjoy this book. The "villians" seem to have come right out of the movie "Tremors". It was fast-paced and easy to read.
    • 3/5
      Sci-fi with military action adventure and conspiracy all wrapped up in one nice neat package. I enjoyed and hope to enjoy the next few in the series.
    • 4/5
      Not as good as the first, but still a good page turner. Fast read for sure.
    • 4/5
      was a really good book
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed this complex time travel story especially the first half. Renowned chef Kady planning her wedding travels through time, saves Cole from hanging, he falls madly in love with her (my favorite kind of romance) and so much more. The ending was a bit overdone but a fun book overall.
    • 5/5
      I read this book at the recommendation of a friend. I'm so glad I did. This is the most entertaining book I've read in a long time. In addition to romance, it also contains time travel which is one of my favorite elements and lots of twists and turns in the story. A very fun read.
    • 3/5
      I liked it - I'm a fan of JD, but I did struggle with the heroine having three men all in one book that were falling all over her. I mean, I can see one as the antagonist and one as the protagonist, but three? And then I wasn't clear on why she had to go back through the portal later. Seemed to me she'd finished her journey, except maybe JD didn't have a high enough word count so she had to send Kady back through the portal one more time - no, two more times, wait . . . everybody jump in and let's see who jumps out. Yeah, that part I didn't care for. I don't believe in messing with events that will alter the future. Someone won't come back through because they've never been born (and in this case, one of them didn't). It was a little too far-fetched that since they fixed the issue in the past, the guy that Kady ultimately ends up with should have not existed (even though they tried to allow for that).

      Again, I liked it - it was light reading, but maybe a little more suspended reality than I like.
    • 4/5
      This is a step back in time that is a fun Read. Well done Jude.
    • 1/5
      After reading this book, the only thing that stayed with me was Kady's nifty trick of rolling herbs between layers of pasta dough. That was interesting and fun. This book was neither.
    • 4/5
      I love Jude Deveraux's stories. They are generally simple, well thought out, with a good surprise or two along the way. This one definitely kept me guessing. Kady is getting married to Gregory, and is the leading chef at a small place called Onions. Her life is going according to plan and then she finds the perfect wed...ding dress. Dress and all, Kady falls through a ripple in time to save Cole from the hang man's noose in 1873. Legend is a beautiful old mining town in the mountains of Colorado, with some dark secrets. As Kady discovers the truth about Legend, she also learns the truth about her own life. A parting promise to a woman long dead sends Kady on a second journey she hadn't expected, one that changes her life, and the lives of many others. Full of surprises and memorable characters, Legend will grab you, and leave you wanting more!

      Master chef Kady Long is about to be married to one of the handsomest men she's ever seen - not her dream man, but she's given up finding him. Petite and curvy, Kady suffers from low self-esteem pretty much everywhere but the kitchen where she's the master of all she surveys. Days before her wedding she buys and old truck on a whim and on opening it, finds a gorgeous wedding dress from the 1800's - and it fits. Trying it on, however, catapults her back through time where she meets yet another handsome man - he's not her dream man, either, but she ends up marrying him anyway, only to end up back in the 20th century.If that's not convoluted enough, enter yet another handsome man - a descendant of the 19th century hunk, and she seems to have inherited all his millions.Overly complex and a bit jumbled, this isn't Deveroux's best, but it's not her worse, either.

      I read this book because I like the author but weterns aren't my thing.
