Story4.5 out of 5 stars 15
The Chinese dragon is flexing its muscles. As its military begins to prey on neighbors in the South China Sea, attacking fishing vessels and scheming to seize natural resources, the US goes on high alert. But a far more ominous danger lurks closer to home: A Chinese sleeper cell has planted a nuclear weapon in the harbor at Norfolk, Virginia, the biggest naval base on the planet. The target: a secret rendezvous of the Atlantic Fleet aircraft carriers and their battle groups.

From inside Perun Aerie - an intricate network of underground tunnels and chambers that is the heart of the Russian cyberwarfare program - he is launching a carefully plotted series of attacks on an unsuspecting US and its European allies.

Seventy years ago, the interstellar supercarrier Ark Royal was the pride of the Royal Navy. But now, her weapons are outdated and her solid-state armour nothing more than a burden on her colossal hull. She floats in permanent orbit near Earth, a dumping ground for the officers and crew the Royal Navy wishes to keep out of the public eye. But when a deadly alien threat appears, the modern starships built by humanity are no match for the powerful alien weapons.

Summary
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.

Nice book to read and not to taxing
Enjoyed reading the last book in the series. It's an easy going book to read and so doesn't take too much concentration. The story is concluded with no loose ends.
Not to sure about the narration but managed to listen and enjoy.

Okay finale for the series
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Any book done by narrator Dick Hill has to be decent and this one was better because of the narrator.
Any additional comments?
I had read the other books written years back and was surprised to see this new one on Audible. It is worth the listen though it maybe of help to have followed the characters in the earlier books.

Pretty Good Story ruined by terrible reading
Would you try another book from Stephen Coonts and/or Dick Hill?
I have several Stephen Coonts books and look forward to more - but with a different reader
Would you be willing to try another one of Dick Hill’s performances?
NO
Any additional comments?
The performance got in the way of the story and the readers terrible attempt at voicing elderly characters made me wince.

I miss performer Eric Conger.
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The performer and/or producer of this third installment has diverged so far from the tone of the second volume that the characters are unrecognizable.
How could the performance have been better?
Mr. Hill reads this installment as if we've been dropped into the mob culture of the roaring twenties. Our heroine, an accomplished pilot and confident woman, has been transformed into a sheepish maul. Our hero, a punk. Everyone else a mobster or thug.

The wrong narrator---
The narrator of this story sounds like he is trying to deliver each and every word of the story with the intensity of a vintage Movietone News headline announcer, making the story next to impossible to listen to---just imagine the voice characterizations...no one outside of a Little Theater production ever sounded like these people.

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!

Disappointed. Earlier books bettter
I cannot believe this is written by the same person that published the Jake Grafton series. I was very disappointed, the book seemed to be edited without good transitions between paragraphs. One paragraph or "section" had extensive details only to jump to completely different topic in the next paragraph. That's OK for chapters but.....
The book felt more like collection of short stories pieced together around a common theme.
