Perfect for you if...

You love military thrillers with real technical detail and high-stakes action that doesn't let up.
You want science fiction that feels grounded in authentic flying and geopolitical tension, not pure fantasy.
You enjoy the cat-and-mouse chase narrative where smart protagonists stay one step ahead of multiple powerful enemies.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for hard science fiction that explains the alien technology or digs into profound first-contact themes.
You prefer character-driven literary fiction over plot-driven adventure stories.
You want a standalone novel. This is the first in a series, and it leaves threads open.

About this book

When Rip Cantrell, a seismic survey worker in the Sahara, discovers a piece of metal embedded in sandstone, he and his colleagues uncover a flying saucer that has been buried for 140,000 years. The discovery quickly attracts multiple parties: a U.S. Air Force UFO investigation team, a team sent by an Australian billionaire seeking to steal the saucer's secrets, and the Libyan military. Before these groups can outmaneuver each other, Rip and Charley Pine, a former Air Force test pilot, fly the saucer away and embark on a journey into space and around the world, staying ahead of those pursuing them. Saucer combines a story centered on flying with an exploration of speculative possibilities.
