While interning with a seismic survey crew in the Sahara Desert, Rip Cantrell discovers a flying saucer embedded in a sandstone ledge. Rip is keen to learn as much as possible about the saucer, which is at least 140,000 years old. But he's not the only one.
While various groups squabble about Rip's discovery, Rip and former Air Force test pilot Charlotte "Charley" Pine steal the saucer and fly into orbit. As they try to learn the saucer's secrets, Rip and Charley must keep it away from the U.S. Government, which would deny its existence, and rogue Australian billionaire Roger Hedrick, who wants to sell it to the highest bidder.
Saucer eBook Stephen Coonts
Sometimes one forgets just how fun a writer’s wild imagination can be! That is the case with this book, “Saucer” by Stephen Coonts. I do believe it has all the excitement one might get from and actual true to life saucer ride.It begins in the Sahara with our soon to be high flying friend, Rip Cantrell. He is working for a company doing a seismic shoot having to do with oil drilling. Its just a summer job to Rip who is studying Engineering at college. As he is holding a stadia rod he catches a bright reflection seeming to come from a spot about a mile away. As he continues.. he tries to figure out just what might be out there miles and miles from anything or anybody that would cause such a thing.He talks the guys he is working with to make a short trip out in the dunes to see what it might be. There begins the tale.
The bright shiny object turns out to be a Space Ship, a Flying Saucer just like in the Fantasy Sci fi movies. Unknown to Rip, one of the workers is not such a good guy and he ends up using a satellite phone to call a friend who had told him to keep an eye out for anything interesting that showed up. He figured, rightly, that a flying saucer would be such a thing. Along about the same time, the Duty Officer at Space Command in Colorado had a satellite image with a strange anomaly on it and called in her boss. They send a spy plane from Area 51.. yeah, THAT area 51 to see what the strange craft might be. Enter the Air Force. They pop over to get a look see too… then the Aussie’s show up. Remember that phone call? Eventually the Libyans show up too.. it is after all, somewhat in their country that al this is happening. Things go very badly and Rip gets the woman test pilot who had come with the Air Force to get into the saucer with him and off they go.
From here, the story only gets wilder and more fun. Maybe a bit of scary but not anymore than we are constantly being bombarded with on TV. Rip and Charley ( Charlotte ) steal the saucer, I mean, after all… Rip “found” it. I really loved this book. I so wish they would make it into a movie . It would be better than old “Captain America”! The writing never lets you down. You move basically from one crisis to another all well woven into the narrative. There are two more and I plan on buying both. Coonts's books have been around for a long time. I was surprised to find that I had missed them! So if you like a great story and a bit of science fiction tossed about. Read this. It is a fun, fun read.

Saucer eBook Stephen Coonts Reviews
As a rule I'm a science fiction enthusiast, not a political or military intrigue devotee. My mental concept of Stephen Coonts' novels was one of only knowing his name, and that he is one of the successful authors creating characters and series of novels within universes I was not 'into'.
I had no concept of his style or ability as a novelist, until I was intrigued by, first, the artwork on the cover of Saucer and, second, by the book's inclusion on an list of science fiction that might interest me. I followed 's suggestion and looked inside. I was immediately caught up by Coonts' words...a distinctly unusual, as a rule, effect of previewing books I find listed on book-selling websites.
His characters were fleshed out, and his dialogue flowed naturally into my imagination. The science depicted was done well, thought through. It did not lapse into the often 'sleight of hand' variety of wishful thinking I often encounter in not-well-researched attempts at hard scifi.
The biggest plus in my mind was this I did not have to put the book down in order to re-fire my desire to find out what's coming next, what's going to happen to the characters next. The balance between action and introspection was painless. The action's imagery carried me along with it, did not require my mind to 'work' to build it. The thoughts and feelings of the characters were naturally intermingled with their actions, not forced or pretentious or nuggets dropped by an all-knowing narration. I gained acquaintance via Coonts' choice of descriptive words coloring the character, rather than being 'told' by descriptive paragraphs.
I was quite surprised at the author's skill at weaving story-telling and character-building. I am pleased that listed this usually-writing-about-something-else author for me to discover. After I've read the other two Saucer-universe adventures, whether I will explore his other series of stories remains to be seen. I will likely investigate that possibility.
One of the best UFOWho knew Stephen Coonts could write engrossing Sci-Fi? This is the start of an well thought and researched set of books that start with a young man, Rip Cantrell, on a summer job surveying in the Sahara desert and notices a glint in a rock formation and proceeds to excavate it. Unable to identify the metal.he enlist the aid of an archaeological dig close by. The archaeologist gets excited and they unearth a flying? Saucer. Of course, one of Rips crew calls it in to his boss. But, before he can act, the Air Force brings in a team with Charley Pine, a female pilot. By this time, Rip has managed to get the hatch open. And looked around to find everything as if it were new. The Air Force wants it. Rip figures it his since he found it. And as dusk approaches. A Lybian helicoptor shows up, shooting starts. Rip grabs Charley and takes her in the saucer. She manages to get it airborne and the story goes ballistic at this point. One of the best UFO story's I have ever read. A mix of believable Tech and and a great storyline that continues throughto the second book. Saucer, The Conquest. I am dying to read the third installment. I am confident you will feel the same way from the beginning. Job well done, Stephen
My favourite books are rather gloomy,violent novels written mostly by ex-military, so I do not know why I bought Saucer but what a fun that book was!
Saucer is rather childish,simple but witty book which made me laugh a lot.
The sudden discovery of 140 thousand years old alien spacecraft in Sahara and travelling with that Saucer all over the world is one big and enjoyable adventure.
Because I want to have more of a good time and laughs I will start reading the second book in the Saucer series right after I finish this review.
And many thanks to brilliant writer Stephen Coonts!
