Liars and Thieves is Stephen Coonts as you've never seen him before-a story as chilling as it is unforgettable. Tommy Carmellini, a CIA operative who is unafraid to walk both sides of the law to attain his objective, uncovers a dark conspiracy that leads to the highest levels of the American government-and to a ruthless manipulator who will stop at nothing to keep a decades-old secret.
Liars and Thieves opens as Carmellini is sent to post guard duty at a farmhouse in West Virginia's remote Allegheny Mountains, where top government operatives are debriefing a star defector: the ultimate KGB insider, a man with records on every operation and every dirty trick the shadowy intelligence agency has ever run, from Lenin to Putin.
Carmellini arrives to find the guards shot dead and a ruthless team of commandos--American commandos--killing everyone in sight, then setting the house on fire. He escapes in a hail of bullets with what seems to be the sole survivor, a stunningly attractive translator who then steals his car, abandoning him, after a deadly mountain car chase.
But one other person survived the massacre: The man whose fractured memory holds the KGB's most embarrassing secrets, including something for which someone will kill to keep it quiet. Carmellini teams up with his mentor, Admiral Jake Grafton, and together they track down the amnesiac defector. From there, the hunt is on as they become the target of a lethal squad of killers who can only be taking direction from someone very close to the president.
From a bloody ambush at a posh Virginia estate, to assassinations on the decaying streets of inner city Washington, to a makeshift safe house at Grafton's Delaware summer home, no place is outside the ruthless conspiracy's reach.
Carmellini and Grafton must learn to tell friend from foe as they fight their way through a poisonous wilderness of intrigue, all the way to a presidential convention in New York City-and to the surprising identity of someone standing on the verge of absolute power who has jeopardized the safety of the entire nation to prevent a dark secret from ever seeing the light of day.
“Saucer The Conquest” 
Steve Coonts' SAUCER was a smash hit in the U.S. and the U.K. when it was published in 2002. It was also published in Germany as DAS IKARUS PROJEKT.
Now the unlikely duo of Rip Cantrell and beautiful test pilot Charley Pine are back, so strap in and leave your passports behind as the fight for freedom on the new frontier begins.
After discovering the secrets of a 140,000-year-old spacecraft and delivering it to safety in the National Air and Space Museum, where it is displayed alongside Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis, Rip and Charley think their days of high-flying extraterrestrial adventure are over.
Bored with Rip's aimless wanderings, Charley accepts a job flying space planes to the moon for the French lunar base project. There she discovers a world-threatening anti-gravity beam that could only have been constructed using saucer technology.
Rip and Charley must steal the first saucer from its new home at the museum and hit the not-so-friendly skies again in order to save Uncle Egg and the world from a twisted modern-day Napoleon bent on conquest.
