From BooklistThe third in the Saucer series is, like its predecessors, science fiction in the grand pulp tradition. Its been a decade since Coonts last entry in the series (Saucer: The Conquest, 2004), but the story picks up pretty much where that one left off. The alien flying saucer that landed at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, is now sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Harrison Douglas is about to recover the saucer, determined to extract from its computers the formula for an anti-aging drug. But he hasnt counted on his right-hand man, Adam Solo, stealing the saucer. Turns out Solo is a space traveler, and he wants to use the Roswell saucer to summon a starship to take him home. Make no mistake, this isnt intended to be serious science fiction. Its pulp fiction, a story that feels like it came off the pages of a 1940s or 50s sf magazine, with deliberately dubious science, flashy characters, and a whole lot of fun. Its the kind of story you read and think: Why dont they write stuff like this anymore? --David Pitt Coonts knows how to write and build suspense.

A trilogy well worth readingBy Kindle CustomerI have just read Stephen Coonts' Saucer trilogy and from Saucer to the last book I had to read the entire series.In my opinion this represents some of his absolute best work.His understanding of everything from A to Z when it comes to the human race is phenomenal and well represented in his Saucer trilogy.Don't miss this series. I am sorry I did not read it earlier.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A somewhat contrived ending to the Saucer Trilogy.By John GosneyA somewhat predictable, and somewhat enjoyable ending to the series.The theme of ruthless people looking to get their hands on Saucer technology for their own greed while the Saucer owners try to get on with their lives is revisited again.A nice easy read that ties up the trilogy, unfortunately it left me with a feeling that it was the same old same old. Even with the introduction of a new significant character the overall feeling was one of predictability.As a stand alone book I perhaps would rate it higher, but this book felt the most contrived in the series and was disappointing in the manner in which the series was concluded.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Saucer series Hits the Ball Out of the ParkBy Jeffrey WaitzmanStephen Coonts' Saucer Series (Volumes #1 thru #3) are outstanding examples of contemporary science fiction and facts incorporating current events and history. They are well worth reading and will give the reader much to think about.
