Publisher Description

A relic from the past. A bridge to the future. Stephen Coonts's Saucer is a dazzling flying story and an action-filled look at what might have been...and what might be.

After 140,000 Years...

Seismic Surveyor Rip Cantrell has made an exhilarating discovery—a flying saucer embedded in the Sahara sandstone. Buried for eons, it's not the invention of modern man. Computer-equipped, it can't belong to ancient man. Rip's betting his life on the only alternative. If the ship's memory bank holds the proof he needs, it's going to rock civilization, and make Rip a very famous man.

Its Time Has Come.

Once the secret's out, Rip's outwitted by an enterprising billionaire set to steal the saucer's profitable technology-and outnumbered by the Libyan army looking to lay claim to history. But it's in a skeptical UFO investigation team that Rip finds an unlikely ally: test-pilot Charlotte Pine. Together, they come up with a plan to protect the saucer's secrets.

But Where In The World Is It Going?

Under a hail of bullets, in an exhaust of white fire, Rip and Charlotte are off. Accelerating on a fantastic journey across continents and oceans, they're about to experience the mystery of what once was, and explore the possibilities of what could be, on an adventure 140,000 years in the making.

"I thought this book would make a fantastic movie. I would love to see it as a movie. It follows the story of a college kid who finds a real flying saucer in the Sahara, takes it around the world, has some cool adventures, falls in love. Flight of the Navigator for the 21st century. "

    " Honestly I did like this book yet I am going to describe it as fluffy. A saucer, a working saucer, is found in the desert and these folks from various groups are going to argue over ownership rights. Golly gee whiz! And when it flies over cities and various populated areas people are astonished. Holy moly! When you get to the end some people will even die and like even be killed. Oh no, close your eyes! It is a good book, and part of a two book series, but something seems off. In the beginning it almost reads like a YA book, okay with a bit of violence, like someone getting punched for instance. I would think such a dicovery would cause people to kill indiscriminately and also would cause massive rioting on a worldwide scale when seen flying over city centers. Perhaps I am to pessimistic of the human conditioned response to such an event. Does this mean I will skip the second book? Not a chance! I cannot wait to see if someone gets whacked by a whiffle bat. "

    " I like Stephen Coonts, but not this book. The characters were as deep as a poorly written comic book and the whole story vaguely retarded. Now get Admiral Jake Grafton into this story and you might have a good book, but as it is it's vaguely ridiculous. "
