Saucer: Savage Planet

Saucer, Book 3

De: Stephen Coonts

Narrado por: Dick Hill

Aliens are coming!

A year after young engineering student Rip Cantrell discovered the first flying saucer buried deep in the sands of the Sahara, another saucer is brought up from the bottom of the Atlantic. The recovery is funded by a pharmaceutical executive who believes that the saucer holds the key to an anti-aging drug formula that space travelers would need to voyage between galaxies. But one of his technicians, Adam Solo, an alien marooned on Earth for a thousand years, steals the saucer, hoping to summon a starship to rescue him. Unfortunately, the stolen saucer has damaged communications gear.

Solo goes to Rip Cantrell and his partner, ex-Air Force test pilot Charlotte “Charley” Pine, and Rip's uncle Egg, for help in summoning a starship. Meanwhile, as a terrified world fearful of space invaders approaches meltdown, big pharma moguls and their thugs are hot on the trail of the foursome.

In a world turned upside down, it may be the arriving aliens who offer limitless possibilities. Rip and Charley face an incredible decision: Do they dare leave the safety of earth to travel into the great wilderness of the universe? Full of UFO’s, futuristic technology, edge-of-your-seat flying scenes and unforgettable characters, human and otherwise, Stephen Coonts' Savage Planet is classic storytelling at its best…and pure, unadulterated fun.

Stephen Coonts is a natural storyteller

Stephen Koontz is a natural storyteller, he spins a yarn like he's dreaming a dream. Rip and Charlie are great partners in this dynamic adventure and Uncle Egg makes sure to bring common sense to an uncommon world. If you read the previous two books you will enjoy this one. If not you've got some catch-up to do. Get on with it "saucer" is your starting place.

Needed a different narrator.

Typically a book is only as good as the narrator. In this case the book deserved better. Dick Hill wasn't up to the task on this one and comes off sounding like Jimmy Durante narrating Frosty the Snowman (no offense Jimmy. You were great at what you did!)
It's a very hard book to keep listening to because of the terrible narrating. However, the book itself is very well written and a great addition to the Saucer series. Hopefully it will be re-released with a better reader soon because this version doesn't do the book justice. Terrible performance!

Great stories

Can't wait to read the next one...hopefully Stephen Coonts pens it! Want to read the next adventure of Rick & Charlie.

Great series

I loved all three booked. The first one I read twice. the other two ony audio books.

First 2 were great

Well I did like the story. liked charters. This saying words & letters left is crazy.


The narrator was a very good speaker. He was not to good as changing the voices, but got in to it.
I really love these kind of books. Really liked the Author, in all was good.
