Deception Point



Well today I finished reading, "Deception Point" by Dan Brown. It's a really good thriller. In the first part of the story I got a bit bored, however as the story went along I felt like I couldn't stopped reading because I wanted to know more.

Here is the story outline:-

When a new NASA satellite detects evidence of an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory ... a victory that has profound implications for U.S. space policy, the NASA itself as it was being under attack by a USA senator and the impending presidential election that was going to be held in the upcoming months.

With the Oval Office in the balance, the President dispatches White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Arctic to verify the authenticity of the find. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic academic Michael tolland, Rachel uncovers the unthinkable - evidence of scientific trickery - a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy.

But before Rachel can make her findings known, she realises, perhaps too late, that such knowledge puts her and Tolland in deadly jeopardy. Fleeing for their lives in an environment as desolate as it is lethal, they possess only one hope for survival: to find out who is behing this masterful ploy. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all ...

I must say this film has everything because while it is a thriller, you have some funny moments, you encounter family problems and wars, you see a romance begin and also hostilities between colleagues together with a big deception from the most person you perhaps trust with your life.

While this is my least favourite book of Dan Brown so far, I wouldn't hesitate twice before reading it again.
