Legacy by David L. Goleman
Col. Jack Collins and the Event group explode onto the page in Golemon's highest-octane novel yet. NASA is shocked to uncover billion-year-old skeletal remains on the moon. When the devastating news is leaked, nations are thrown into a head-long collision as the flames of fundamentalism threaten to engulf the world. The Event Group is tasked to unravel the mystery and to offer something that can either explain our ancient visitor or, at least, keep the planet from descending into chaos. Collins leads a team of the world's greatest scientists and philosophers on a journey that will take them to the airless world of space. But while a battle rages over our heritage, the Event Group realizes that this may not be humanity's war alone. Could something else - someone else - be coming to finish a war that they started a billion years ago?
