Hello Everyone!

It has been a while since I last posted, that will attest to how busy I have been. Now the good news. The paperback release of Primeval is on schedule and will be out in early June. The release date for Legacy, the sequel to the original EVENT legend, has been pushed back by thirty days until August 16th due to the fiasco over at Borders books, hopefully they will get their chapter ten filings done and they can order Legacy for their summer catalog.

Now the very big news. I have finally found an outlet that will treat my more darker side with respect. The release of my very first non-Event Group related project is in the offing. The SUPERNATURALS, a new series lead is due out October 1st. just in time for Halloween, and boy is it a Halloween related story. Think Orson Wells War of the Worlds live broadcast, meets the Haunting. I believe everyone who loves the Event Group will find much to love about this new series. But the most important thing for me personally is the fact I have a very good outlet to push new ideas and give you some of the more darker moments in the life and career of David L. Golemon.

I hope you enjoy the first book in the Supernaturals series and continue to push the adventures of the Event Group to the top of the heap as far as thrillers series are concerned.

Until we meet again, happy reading!

To all of my loyal readers I know I outdate a lot of you in age, so, what I would like to suggest is that you listen to every song that you have read as included in all of the Event group stories, I promise you that each and every song was chosen specifically for a scene and is very poignant to the story. I believe sincerely that if you read them, listen to them, you can place them in total context to the storyline...It will be that much better an experience for you.

Walter Cronkite

2009-07-18T16:14:00Z

As a private person I try never to speak on personal matters as a whole, but on this subject I cannot pass by without saying how I feel. Last night, America, and I dare say the world, lost a true friend, a man who believed in not only America, but the goodness of all people to do the right thing. I'm speaking of course about Walter Cronkite, the icon of journalism who passed away at the age of 93. In my time of growing and learning about the world, Mr. Cronkite was always there to explain things to not only me, but a growing generation of young people who was losing trust in a world gone mad. Mr. Cronkite allowed us the one belief that there was at least one man out there who always gave us the truth of a matter, an unyielding and professional telling of what was really happening in our nation, and the world around us. He very rarely gave us his personal view on matters making the news, but you could always see the underlying truth in his words and expressions, from the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, to Martin Luther King and then finally Robert Kennedy and Anwar Sadat, it was alway there in his voice inflection and his trusting eyes when something of great hurt to the nation, the world, was being orchestrated by forces outside of reason.

He alone ended the war in Vietnam after a a single visit to the troops, a man who listened to the everyday soldier and learned there was no way out. When President Johnson said 'If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost middle America' again Walter was underestimated, when he came out and said America was faced with stalemate in Vietnam, Johnson not only lost middle America, he lost the entirety of it, from young, to old America, if Watler said that was enough, by god, that was enough.

His unyielding support and pride in the race for space, and then his unapologetic nature in his patriotic pride of it, spurred a whole new generation of Americans to aspire to be something better than what they were.

I have lost a friend, a trusted member of our America, at a time when trust is a hard thing to come by. A man that would never have thought that 90% of the things reported today at the national news services, were worthwhile news at all. When Mr. Cronkite reported, you had better listen, because it was the only truth available----from anyone. Today, I am sad, and I hope fans of this writer are also, because the world in the last 24 hours has become a darker place now that this man is gone.

Booklist Review of LEVIATHAN!

2009-07-05T11:46:00Z

Leviathan.

Golemon, David L. (author).

Aug. 2009. 368p. St. Martin’s/Thomas Dunne, hardcover, $24.95 (9780312376635).
REVIEW. First published June 19, 2009 (Booklist Online).

The fourth adventure of the Event Group continues the tradition of mixing history with page-turning suspense. Still mourning the death of their commander, the team members find themselves attacked from within. Their headquarters almost demolished, the men and women of the group are truly on the ropes. Then ships from around the world are destroyed by what appears to be a monstrous submarine straight out of a Jules Verne novel. Can the team organize itself to stop this madman from holding the oceans hostage? Fans of Clive Cussler, Verne, X-Files, and military tactical thrillers will find much to enjoy in this increasingly clever series.

Eric Burdon and The Animals----The Rumor is True Folks

2009-05-30T04:09:00Z

For everyone who is contacting the website and my publisher, yes, the rumor is true that Eric Burdon and the Animals have given permission and have read the chapter of Leviathan and loved it, where their song, "House of the Rising Sun' becomes a very special part of the story. I don't know how the general public got wind of it, but yes, it is true!

Review---Leviathan

2009-05-24T04:20:00Z

LAST UPDATE 5/23/09

Leviathan by David L. Golemon, Thomas Dunne, 5/09, $24.95, ISBN 978-0-312-37663-5

The Event Group is back for its third mission in this series which started out as a kind of X Files variant, but has moved closer to action adventure with this latest. Someone has started attacking ships of various nations on the high seas, destroying them so quickly that many are unable even to send a distress signal. Before long we realized that a rogue submarine using unprecedented technology is loose in the oceans and preying on any victim that comes within reach. The similarity to Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne is more than coincidental; it turns out that the chief villain is descended from the man whose life inspired Verne to write that novel. Anyway, the Event Group is enlisted in the effort to hunt down and neutralize the menace in an exciting if not always entirely plausible story. This one is a kind of men’s adventure novel with more ambitious prose and read as pure entertainment, it’s pretty good and a lot better than its two predecessors. 5/23/09

Booklist Review of Ancients

2009-05-06T05:16:00Z

From Booklist
Golemon’s third novel in the Event Group series proves to be his best yet. The Event Group is a secret military organization that specializes in the retrieval and study of ancient technology. The premise this time is elaborate: more than 10,000 years ago, the citizens of Atlantis developed a weapon so powerful that it destroyed their civilization and led to the story of Noah’s flood. The device they used is now in the hands of a society that traces their lineage back to the dynasty of Caesar. Colonel Jack Collins and his team must stop the group from using the superweapon and unleashing massive devastation. The resulting tale is a mix of the James Rollins action-heavy adventure, the military gadgetry of Tom Clancy, the pacing of the television series 24, and the conspiracy theories devoured by fans of the radio show Coast to Coast AM. For no-frills adventure fans with a taste for over-the-top plots. --Jeff Ayers --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
