Deception Point: A Novel

phillipsal"I really enjoyed this book" according to phillipsal2. I really enjoyed this book. I had read both "Angels & Demons" and "The Da Vinci Code," and found this novel to be a welcome departure from religion. Brown focuses on government conspiracies and scientific misinformation, and it's just as good of a story. I do think that the first 100 pages are very slow. I remember reading up to that point and thinking "oh, that's what this book is about." After the first 100 pages, the story picks up and becomes a suspenseful thrill-ride through the ice and snow. In the end, this was a great book that I recomm. said I really enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed this book.

It could change the future of mankind as well as the popularity of the president. Rachel Sexton is called to the arctic where she and some scientists make more discoveries that could threaten their lives. Meanwhile, Rachel's father, Senator Sexton, is running for president on the platform of privatizing the space industry. His assistant soon finds out not all is as it seems with his campaign. Can the truth be found out in time?Suspenseful from the beginning. Some great twist. Couldn't put it down! Dan Brown did not disappoint with Deception Point! His knowledge is vast and impressive. This book is not as "symbolic" as Angels and Demons or The Da Vinchi Code, rather Brown intrigues us with his knowledge of scientific innovation. Deception Point is based on the (fictional) political scandal of the century! The Presidential hopeful uses NASA's failures to launch his campaign while the current President firmly stands behind NASA regardless of their past failures. Then NASA reveals the biggest news in the history of science, but did they make

But before she can warn the President, Rachel and Michael are ambushed by a deadly team of assassins. A thriller unlike any you've ever heard 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. Fleeing for their lives across a desolate and lethal landscape, their only hope for survival is to discover who is behind this masterful plot. To verify the authenticity of the find, the White House calls upon the skills of intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all.. 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. A conspiracy of staggering brilliance. A shocking scientific discovery

He has numerous supporters, including many beyond the businesses who will profit from this because of the embarrassment of 1996, when the Clinton administration was informed by NASA that proof existed of life on other planets. After his first book, Digital Fortress, almost passed me by, he wrote Angels and Demons, which was probably one of the half-dozen most exciting thrillers of last year. Gisters reduce complex reports into single-page briefs, and in this case the president needs that confirmation before he broadcasts to the nation, probably ensuring his reelection. Enter Rachel Sexton, a gister for the National Reconnaissance Office. Bring on the next Dan Brown thriller! --Otto Penzler. His opponent, Senator Sedgwick Sexton, is a powerful man with powerful friends and a mission: to reduce NASA's spending and move space exploration into the private sector. It is a pleasure to re
