Ancients (Event Group Series #3)

gripping thriller

In 13000 BCE much of the world is united behind warriors like Herkulus and King Jason to fight the superpower Atlantis. When the combined might of the enemy began to win, the desperate rulers of the City of Light unleashed a secret weapon of mass destruction called the Wave. However, the ensuing earthquakes and more proved out of control in three minutes ten millennia of civilianization vanished when Atlantis the continent sunk into the sea and the face of the globe reengineered with radical changes like what is to become Spain breaking off completely from Africa. Over the thousands of years since the man-made cataclysm, civilization returned not quite to the Atlantis level of technology yet none learned from that pandemic devastation as many sought the now mythical weapon to use to gain global dominance. --- In the present, an earthquake and tsunami devastates North Korea the Kim government blames oceanic digging by the South Koreans as the cause. On the Iraq-Iran border, tank forces stand poised to fight when an earthquake destroies at least forty percent of both sides¿ forces. The American President worries that an unknown oligopoly has discovered a weapon that is causing earthquakes around the globe. He assigns his elite Event Group to prevent further destruction a million times worse than Hiroshima by finding the key to the ANCIENTS¿ weapon apparently being used by ruthless ambitious predators for global domination. --- The third Event Group thriller (see EVENT and LEGEND) is like its predecessors an over the stratosphere gripping thriller. The story line is fast-paced from the opening cautionary warning of a smug desperate ancient civilization useing a weapon of mass destruction causing pandemic destruction and never slows down. With twists galore including a final shocker, David Lynn Goleman keeps the events coming as the action never wanes for a paragraph. --- Harriet Klausner

Golemon's Best To Date

Being a fan of both Rollins and Berry, I find The Event series to be in much the same mold. Having finished his first three offerings, I've found Ancients to be Golemon's best effort yet. Much less "down time" between action, with the enemy being more realistic. No space monsters that swim in rock, or little hairless monkeys with gills. The typos are still a distraction, though. But, all in all, a good summer read. I'll try his next offerings as well.

Best of the best

The event group thrillers are some of the best works of fiction I have ever read. I just hope Mr Golemon continues to write about the group. I can't wait until the next one is released. As long as he keeps writing about them I will keep reading.

The story was great, however, very difficult reading because of the many, many grammatical and typographical errors.  Some sentences didn't even make sense and had to be reread to figure them out. The company that printed this book needs to do a better job.

Very involved with lots of action and tension.

Good take on the Atlantis mythology spin up with today's middle est political tensions.

Pretty Good Tale

Nice story of the Event Group and having to do with Atlantis.

Good - not as good as previous event books

Goes from the incredible to the impossible - he might as well have had the sun explode as well - his other event group books were a little over the top, but this one is really too far out - just too much to swallow!!! I'd pass on this one and hope the next one is a little more credible!

if you like errors

i enjoy collecting and reading, but nothing bothers me more than to pay good money for a book only to find alot of typo's.
this author should fire his proof reader.
i won't purchase this authors books in the future.

Great Series

This is the third book so far and it does start slow but then really picks up and keeps going. Surprise ending - can't wait for the next Event Group book

A Good Read, BUT...

This book is a very good read...thrilling, fast paced and quite enjoyable. BUT...as others have noted, it is filled with spelling, grammatical and typographical errors...way more than any other book I've read. Where are the editors and proofreaders? These errors do distract from the quality of the read as they interrupt the flow of the story.

Ancients

Number three in an entertaining series. However, while reading this book I came to the conclusion that no proofreaders or editors ever read it before publication. Many errors. Example: 'surf' instead of 'serf'.
