Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. I nearly stopped reading this book. I'd rate the first 2/3s a 1.5 star, and the final 1/3 a 4.5 star. The main character, Major Jack Collins, does very little until the end but once things kick in gear, it's a helluva ride. The story is about The Event Group, a super secret US organization that is "...dedicated to uncovering the hidden truths behind the myths and legends propagated throughout world history..." In this case, the story revolves around the Roswell Incident that began in 1947 and sees another alien encounter now. Since this is the first Event Group book, I was more forgiving for its slowness early on because author David Lynn Golemon was taking his sweet time building out the Group, its hierarchy, and characters. I like more fast-paced storytelling and Golemon finally proves he can do that towards the end. I hope the next book doesn't take as long to get off the ground. If so, I'll stop reading the series. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

El Grupo Evento, bajo el liderazgo de Jack Collins, se dedica especialmente a descubrir toda la verdad acerca de las conspiraciones secretas y los misterios no revelados en torno a la vida extraterrestre. En casi todos los casos la organización, además de proteger al planeta de posibles amenazas, obtiene información importante, o descubre tecnologías que pueden ser aplicadas en la defensa o el ataque contra agresiones de todo tipo.
Una operación militar que comenzó años atrás en Nuevo México y que está relacionada con el incidente Roswell (el ocultamiento gubernamental del presunto choque de un ovni) es la clave que marca la acción de esta historia.
Por un lado, el Grupo Evento resuelve un enigma en torno al incidente de 1947 y por el otro, una nave idéntica vuelve a estrellarse en la zona. La misión del equipo Evento es llegar hasta la nave y enfrentar a su tripulación antes de que sea descubierta por otros. Extrañas criaturas sobreviven al accidente. Una de ellas será un aliado, poco confiable, pero el Grupo no tendrá mejor opción, y otra, es una entidad de notable fuerza y poder a la que sólo se le conoce como el Destructor de Mundos.
Una batalla épica está a punto de comenzar en medio de los páramos del desierto del suroeste de Estados Unidos. Del triunfo de esta batalla dependerá la supervivencia y esperanza de la humanidad.
