Stolen Skies
ROGUE AGENTS SWEPT UP IN THE SEARCH FOR AN ANCIENT RELIC IN A UFO NOVEL AS ONLY TIM POWERS COULD WRITE IT!
Sebastian Vickery has learned something about UFOs that he shouldn't have-and Naval Intelligence, desperate to silence him, orders his old partner, Agent Ingrid Castine, to trap him.
But Castine risks career, liberty, and maybe even life, to warn Vickery-and now they're both fugitives, on the run from both the U.S. government and agents of the Russian GRU Directorate, which has its own uses for the UFO intelligence.
With the unlikely aid of a renegade Russian agent, a homeless Hispanic boy, and an eccentric old Flat-Earther, Vickery and Castine must find an ancient relic that spells banishment to the alien species, and then summon the things and use it against them-in a Samson-like confrontation that looks likely to kill them as well.
Sweeping from the Giant Rock monolith in the Mojave Desert to a cultist temple in the Hollywood Hills, from a monstrous apparition in the Los Angeles River to a harrowing midnight visitation on a boat off Long Beach Harbor, Stolen Skies is an alien-encounter novel like no other.

Paranormal investigators Sebastian Vickery and Ingrid Castine, a pair of well-matched misfits last encountered in Forced Perspectives, are back in L.A. to stave off an extraterrestrial apocalypse in this fun, dimension-bending thriller. After going their separate ways, the pair are thrown back together when civilian Vickery stumbles on classified information, and Naval Intelligence special agent Castine is pulled from her work disguising real crop circles as hoaxes to find out what her former partner knows. With coolly efficient Rayette Yoneda by her side and a squad of sensitive assignment specialists trailing behind, Castine tracks Vickery to a faked UFO crash site in the Mojave Desert that was designed to lure flying saucer buffs. Then real saucers show up, and some itchy Russian agents take out the navy security specialists, putting Castine and Vickery back on the run together, dodging spies from both sides while gathering allies among flat-earthers and chess-playing cultists waiting for the saucers to arrive. Powers, a master of mixing ESP and espionage with history and folklore, takes a more character-driven approach here, layering in backstory and internal monologue. It lessens some of the sense of wonder but adds to the depth of emotion. Fans will be thrilled. (Jan.)
