The third book in Stephen Coonts' Saucer series appears to suffer from a sense of purpose. When reading it, it feels like the president conveys the thoughts and emotions of the author, of having enough of the main characters and not knowing how things will end. Given the books ending I am still a bit curious about where the series will go from here (if at all), but currently don't care if it will or won't continue. The first book is still the best of the three and neither of the follow-ups has captured the sense of wonder and adventure that the first book had.

I am always in the mood for a good sci-fi book. Sadly, I did not find that in this book. Although I would not classify this book as just sci-fi. It also has the makings of a good thriller story. Yet, I found nothing interesting about the story or the characters. Maybe if I had read the first book I would have developed that character background and relationship better. What my problem was with this book is that a lot of the times the conversations between the characters did not seem to go anywhere. When I can't get into the story and get a good image of what the world and people look like then the conversations are just talking. However I am thinking that I might feel a little differently about this book had I listened to the audio version as there was a little glimmer of hope in the story that I could have gotten into if again I had felt a stronger character connection.

Not such a fan. I started with this one as I grabbed it randomly, and I was kinda bored. Sounded good...like a good sci-fi book. :(

This was the third in a trilogy and it was easy enough to figure out what was going on but I think reading the other books might have helped a little . Overall it was enjoyable and kept me entertained on my lunchtime reading breaks.
