Publisher's summary

The United States is ready to make a triumphant return to the moon, striking out boldly into the solar system in an attempt to regain the confidence of the heady days of the Apollo program. But a shocking discovery at Shackleton Crater brings the first Prometheus mission to an abrupt halt. Remote robots have uncovered human skeletal remains - and forensic analysis at NASA reveals the corpse to be over 700 million years old. As the news of this discovery is leaked across the universe - and a battle rages over the truth of our heritage - the Event Group is tasked to unravel the mystery behind this ancient visitor. Colonel Jack Collins once again leads a team of the world's greatest scientists and philosophers on a journey that will take the Event Group into the realm of space and confront one of humanity's most pressing questions: Could something - or someone - else be coming to finish a war that began almost a billion years ago?

Not my favorite

The Ripper was my least favorite in this series this was my second least favorite but in all this is my favorite series of books

Great book but out of order

Why did this come out after Overlord?? Otherwise another great Event group novel. Richard Poe is great as ever. The story keeps you going even though if you have overlord you know the ending kinda.

Almost a "binge read". It's THAT good!

I had read all the others but somehow missed this one. Hard to pick a favorite Event Group adventure but Legacy is on the short list. As other reviewers have said... I choked up a bit at the end too.

I don't know what genre this is I just know I enjoy the High Adventures. Yes... there are predicable elements in each story and I'm fine with that. Yes... the adventures stretch the limits of reality... which is one of the reasons I enjoy them so.

As for the reviewers that pan this book, I bet we disagree on many other subjects too. PLEASE WRITE FASTER MR GOLEMON!

Brilliant as always

Listening to Legacy (as opposed to previously having read it), I found the story to be even more engrossing and emotional (especially at the end). I found myself using a few tissues to mop up the tears. I especially love the romance between Sarah and Jack, and hope this continues.

such an amazing series

this was not my favorite in the series but I am glad I read it

Another great book by. David Golemon

I like the Event Group series! I could not put this audiobook down. You must read or listen to it!

Great story, great narrator, and great friends

loved it. Death of old friends. Return of old friends. Onwards to save world again

Awesome!

Story line was engaging and entertaining. Narrator made listening and differentiating characters effortless. I highly recommended this book.

Hooked

Would you listen to Legacy again? Why?

I loved this book - there's enough intrigue and action to satisfy my tastes. I've become a devoted advocate of the Event Group series of books. My only problem is that some of the descriptions don't tell you what book in the series they are, in which case, I've just had to guess and plug ahead. Legacy sets up the foundation for any number of follow-on books to carry on the tale begun here, but so far, I haven't stumbled on a sequel. Hopefully there will be one forthcoming. I just finished the Carpathian book, which also leaves the foundation for follow up books, but who knows what such a follow up will be called, or when it will be released. These, to me, are the only shortcomings in the series, but they won't stop me from reading every Event Group book that David writes. I love the characters, the narrator, and the story lines.

What did you like best about this story?

An excellent combination of familiar characters, a space anomaly, and action!

Which character – as performed by Richard Poe – was your favorite?

As always, you just gotta love Colonel Jack Collins and Sarah Mackintyre (however they're spelled).

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

There's something out there, and it's coming this way . . .

Any additional comments?

I wish they'd make movies of this entire series! The characters and story lines are all gripping and exciting - what more could one ask in a movie?

another awesome ride!

love this series, if you like the x files, indiana Jones, or Tom Clancy, you'll live this series.
