Legend

Event Group Adventure, Book 2

De: David L. Golemon

Narrado por: Richard Poe

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.

Another Great Event

Any additional comments?

As the third book in the series, I really enjoyed the take on how the legend of El Dorado was done in the world of the Event Group. The gold, combined with the animals and other items within El Dorado, made the story entertaining and the combat intense. The only issue I had with the book was the abrupt death of one of the characters in the final chapter of the book. It seemed more like an arbitrary way to change a characters direction for the authors future use than something more natural.

The Event Group continue to roll

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would only if I was SURE that they could enjoy the profound leaps of faith that this story, and the Event Group series in general, requires.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Most: the history of the search for El Dorado over the centuries.
Least: what does the ole' whipping boy, the Roman Catholic Church, have to do with it??

What three words best describe Richard Poe’s voice?

Detailed
Compelling ( at times )
Consistent

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

I rarely go to movies. They play in my head.

Any additional comments?

A good addition to the genre. Slightly higher than mildly amusing.

Is very well narrated.

I love the way David Goleman writes gollaman and the narration is just as good.

Another nail-biting story in the series

Another entertaining episode in the event series. Lots of suspense, cliff-hanger situations, betrayals and shadow government elements working to thwart the good guys. In short, a fun novel that was expertly written and narrated.

cant get enough!

I fell in love with master Sargent! what a real man. I don't think they make them like that anymore and the story made him so good. the entire story was great I want more.

Still not bad, but still the same errors as in the first book

Just like the first book, the background for this book; the historic El Dorado, and Pizarro legend is cool, I wish there weren’t quite so many subplots without even the courtesy of using chapters as transitions and some pretty big mistakes. Sarah breaks her wrist and then a minute later, she’s able to light a torch with a lighter. Also I am 99.9% sure that the Incan empire was not 5000 years ago and Chichen Itza was not built by the Incas in Mexico. I don’t know if other historic details like Custers last stand or accurate but all in all a good read. A solid four out of five stars.

awesome read, story, love the legends

love the legends , myths brought to life, lot of action drama . cool fighting scenes

Sixteen hours of pure excitement.

I am obsessed with this author and his books with "Legend" which was so exciting every minute! I listened over two days and nights because I couldn't wait to see how it ended. Thrills a minute and positively scary at times! Highly recommend - similar to James Rollins' earlier books.

Boring

Characters are poorly described, its hard to follow the action in this format. it would be better as a normal book.

Great adventure!

I’ve read this book before years ago and I am listening to the series and starting from the beginning. Love this series. Great adventure!
