Publisher Description
Let David Lynn Golemon thrill you with Leviathan from the magnificent Event Group series.
LEGEND COMES TO LIFE - TO BRING DEATH TO THE DEEP
The ships of the world are under fire - attacks so sudden and vicious that most of them sink without even making a distress call. As navies from many nations attempt to locate the losses and find this destructive and hidden enemy, even their ships disappear without a trace.
Enter the Event Group - the most secret organization in the U.S. government's history - a group of the brightest and best soldiers and scientists, led by Colonel Jack Collins.
As they race to find a solution, they discover they are up against the most advanced undersea vessel in history - and an insane genius who wants to dispense his own twisted justice to the world . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fans of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea will enjoy Golemon's recasting of the Jules Verne novel, his fourth Event Group thriller (after Ancients). A prologue set in 1802 at an isolated French prison evokes another well-known classic, The Count of Monte Cristo, then the action leaps forward by increments until it reaches the present day. The U.S. president calls in the Event Group after a mysterious undersea vessel, the Leviathan, begins terrorizing the seas, sinking ships and subs alike. Those aboard the Leviathan threaten nuclear destruction if the land dwellers don't stop their abuse of the ocean. A traitor enables the terrorists to infiltrate the Event Group's headquarters and take its leadership hostage. Once Event Group operatives manage to board the Leviathan, the plot echoes its inspiration even more closely. While Golemon adds his own closing twist, the story line's overall lack of originality makes this less interesting than the series' first and strongest entry, Event.
