Saucer

A dazzling interstellar adventure from a master of suspense!
When Rip Cantrell, a seismic survey worker in the Sahara, spots a glint of reflected light in the distance, he investigates—and finds a piece of metal apparently entombed in the sandstone. Before long, Rip and his colleagues uncover a flying saucer that has been resting there for 140,000 years.
Their discovery doesn't remain a secret for long. The U.S. Air Force sends a UFO investigation team, which arrives just minutes before a team sent by an Australian billionaire to steal the saucer's secrets. Before either side can outwit the other, the Libyan military arrives.
Meanwhile, Rip has been checking out the saucer. With the help of a beautiful ex-Air Force test pilot Charley Pine, Rip flies the saucer away, embarking on a fantastic journey into space and around the world, keeping just ahead of those who want the Saucer for themselves.
From New York Times bestselling author Stephen Coonts comes a globe-trotting, high-flying sci-fi thriller packed with realistic aviation technology and edge-of-your-seat suspense. Saucer is a riveting tale of ancient aliens and the race to unlock their secrets that will leave readers breathless.
