Publisher's summary

Rogue agents swept up in the search for an ancient relic in a UFO novel as only Tim Powers could write it!

Sebastian Vickery has learned something about UFOs that he shouldn’t have — and Naval Intelligence, desperate to silence him, orders his old partner, Agent Ingrid Castine, to trap him.

But Castine risks career, liberty, and maybe even life, to warn Vickery — and now they’re both fugitives, on the run from both the US government and agents of the Russian GRU Directorate, which has its own uses for the UFO intelligence.

With the unlikely aid of a renegade Russian agent, a homeless Hispanic boy, and an eccentric old Flat-Earther, Vickery and Castine must find an ancient relic that spells banishment to the alien species, and then summon the things and use it against them — in a Samson-like confrontation that looks likely to kill them as well.

Sweeping from the Giant Rock monolith in the Mojave Desert to a cultist temple in the Hollywood Hills, from a monstrous apparition in the Los Angeles River to a harrowing midnight visitation on a boat off Long Beach Harbor, Stolen Skies is an alien-encounter novel like no other.

Not the best Tim Powers

This felt a little more incomprehensible than most other TP novels in my mind. If you’ve never read a Tim Powers book, skip this for now and go straight to Anubis Gates and On Stranger Tides. I wanted to like this but couldn’t really get behind it. Now I’m going to go listen to Declare again.
