After discovering the secrets of a 140,000-year-old spacecraft in Saucer, Rip Cantrell and beautiful test pilot Charley Pine think their days of high-flying extraterrestrial adventure are over. But when Pine takes up flying spaceplanes to the moon for the French lunar base project, she discovers that the project director has installed a world-threatening antigravity beam.

The French kidnap Rip's Uncle Egg and force him to fly a saucer, hidden in Area 51, to the moon. Rip and Charley have no choice; to rescue Egg and save the world, they must steal the first saucer from its new home, the National Air and Space Museum, and hit the not-so-friendly skies again.

Stephen Coonts's first Saucer was a smash-hit nationwide. Now the unlikely duo of Rip Cantrell and Charley Pine are back, so strap in and leave your passports behind as the fight for freedom on the new frontier begins.

I suppose I am a scifi nut and have loved all kinds of space travel / time travel stories and this is a very well done one too! Some times I hope that I will still be alive when the first friendly aliens show up and that we don't follow the way the military wants to shoot first shake later line!

This was a great follow up book to the Coonts' first Saucer book...doesn't suffer from second hand syndrome. It is entertaining and thought provoking -- intrigue, world conquest and humor. Cartoonish characters with names like Senator Blohardt and Texas used car salesman turned space tourist Joe Bob Hooker add to the fun. Satirical comments like: "if we put sanctions on the French, then we must have a Wine for Food program" and "if Washington gets destroyed, we'll rebuild the capitol in Kansas - it's closer to Texas anyway" are roll on the floor kinda stuff. Readers with half a brain couldn't fail to recognize that it's all in fun. However, the Audible narrator is talent-less. He has a good voice, but personality and emotion are void. Yank and bank fighter pilot stuff with flying saucers was a fun listen. On the whole, despite stretching the laws of physics in a few places, the story is a good read.

Yee---Haw!

This book isn't all bad it has good narration, BUT, Has BAD Science. Questions from the first book NEVERED answered. Now they hear about a mother ship. Please it needs to answer some questions like WHERE did the ships come from? also a rich guy has people steal a second ship from Area 51. OH PLEASE give me a break. Mr. Coonts please make your Sci-fi more believable. Don't hold your breath but there is going to be a 3rd book.

Easy to listen to BUT! hard to deal with.

What made the experience of listening to Saucer: The Conquest [Macmillan Audio] the most enjoyable?

I am listening only because I haven't purchased it in book form.

If you’ve listened to books by Stephen Coonts before, how does this one compare?

Excellent story, lacking in science and what would seem to be expected in advanced technology.

How could the performance have been better?

Bring back Dick Hill.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, the robot narrator was hard to tolerate.

Decent story, BORING narration

Stephen Coonts again uses his knowledge about flying to tell a good story. He makes his charaters seem so real and believable. He is a great story teller.

Good Story

All three in these books of the series were great stories with a lot of imagination and a lot of things to make you think about what would happen if similar things happened in our world today. The second book, the conquest. Did start out pretty slow and took some time to get going. But once it did maybe a quarter of the way through it was nonstop for the rest of the books. All three books in the series are well written and just fun. Also an excellent performance..

Just a great yarn in a three book series
