0ur opinion:Item Description: A shocking scientific discovery.
A conspiracy of staggering brilliance.
A thriller unlike any you've ever read....
When a NASA satellite discovers an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory -- a victory with profound implications for NASA policy and the impending presidential election. To verify the authenticity of the find, the White House calls upon the skills of intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic scholar Michael Tolland, Rachel travels to the Arctic and uncovers the unthinkable: evidence of scientific trickery -- a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy. But before she can warn the President, Rachel and Michael are ambushed by a deadly team of assassins. Fleeing for their lives across a desolate and lethal landscape, their only hope for survival is to discover who is behind this masterful plot. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all.

A good action novel
A lot of people have made the point that NASA after the Apollo moon
program let America down by just doing the Shuttle program
in terms of the manned space program.
Government politics and an exploration program don't go well together
long term. A "fake" in science is a hard thing: the Piltdown man,
the Mesoamerican crystal skulls and the Phaistos Disk are famous examples.
But this is a rock that is supposed to be from space.
The nickel concentration is high...the bugs fossils are from the very deep ocean not Mars. lt is a conspiracy to save NASA by (NR0...really NSDA?).
The "hit team" sent to kill the scientists and the senator's daughter fails in the arctic and again off the east coast on the oceanographic platform ship/ Lab. Dan Brown novels seem to have the heroes surviving
against all odds in some very unique stories.
0f the three that l have reviewed l have to say that this is the best written and researched of all of them. The story telling reminds me of
Tom Clancy or Ken Follett or even Micheal Crichton.

lntrigue in the ice
l am may be one of the only people in the United States who was disappointed with DaVinci Code but Loved Angels and Demons, both books by Dan Brown. l just recently finished reading another book by the same author called "Deception Point". Like the first two books it follows a a twisty plot where you and never quite sure who are good guys and who are bad guys until the last few chapters. Political fortunes rise and fall. lt all centers around an unusual discovery by NASA in the Arctic. l had some trouble putting this book down and read the whole thing in slightly more than 24 hours.

* My only problem? ...
The repeated references to "Westbrooke Place Luxury Apartments" or a variation thereof. l lost track of how many times it was mentioned, and have to conclude there's some reason Dan kept doing so over and over and 0VER, e.g., some kind of promotional placement kickback or free rent deal. Example: No *way* is anyone in DC giving a taxi driver "Westbrooke Place Luxury Apartments" as their destination vs. "23rd and N" or "22O1 N Street" or refer to a fixture in their own apartment as a "Westbrooke Place mantel" (or something like that anyway). Come on, Dan. You don't have enough money??
0therwise, l found the book pretty enjoyable. :)

dan brown books
All of Dan Browns books are great. l started with the most popular of course - the Da Vinci Code, but then back tracked to read his others. He is a great writer. l highly recommend all of his books.
