Query: Saucer by Stephen Coontz

The fact that this book even got published is an embarrassment for the publishing company. I have never forced myself to get halfway through such a poorly written, poorly researched, poorly conceived piece of trash in my life. And I am one who is willing to forgive quite a bit for the sake of sci-fi and put up with some pretty lousy writing. The saddest part is that it got a favorable review from The New York Times! I used to find their reviews helpful. Now they are utterly suspect and useless. Sob! If you've got 12 pounds to plunk down for this book, do yourself a favor and just throw the money out the window. You'd be putting it to better use.
