Deception Point

In this exciting thriller/adventure novel, NASA makes a discovery in the Arctic which will shake the foundations of the world and completly flip the outcome of the upcoming presidential election. But is this amazing scientific discovery all that it is hyped up to be? Could it be a White House/NASA fraud? Dan Brown has created an amazing cast of characters, from the current President, Zachary Herney, who is failing in the polls; to his opponent, Senator Sexton, who is quickly gaining the support of the American people by attacking NASA funding in his campaign; Sexton's daughter, Rachel, NRO liaison to the White House; Mike Tolland, famous oceanographer and host of his own hit TV documentary series "Amazing Seas"; Majorie Tench, the President's political advisor; the NASA administrator; Gabrielle Ashe, Sexton's asistant; and William Pickering, the director of the NRO.
I really enjoyed reading this novel because it has a little bit of everything, thriller, mystery, science fiction, politics, and conspiracy. I was amazed by the author's detailed descriptions of events and characters, I could picture them clearly in my mind. I would recommend this book to everyone. Anyone that picks up this book will get pulled in and will not be able to put it down. There is something in "Deception Point" for everyone. It is definitely a must read.

An average thriller....

With the popularity of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, I'm sure that alot of readers like me are looking for other works by this popular author. Deception Point is one of his earlier works and features the fast pace, non stop action that he is becoming known for.

In Deception Point, intelligence agent Rachel Sexon is the daughter of presidential candidate Senator Sexton. He opposes big government spending and one of the features of his campaign is to stop waste spending, esp NASA. The sitting president summons Rachel to verify an extraordinary find in the Artic Sea--a metorite with proof of extra-terrestial life form..found by NASA.

Rachel and other civilian experts soon find out that the meteorite is a hoax. This discovery puts their lives in danger as an elite military team targets them to destroy them and proof of the deception. TV scientist Michael Talland joins Rachel to help find out the truth. But they are unsure of who to trust in the government and who is behind the conspiracy.

The plot of fast paced and exciting with lots of action and suspenseful twists. It keeps the reader engaged in the story. As with all his other novels, there is a lack of character development that limits this novel and prevents it from giving it 5 stars. But for fans of a fast moving thriller- this book won't disappoint.

Some reviewers are paranoid

I can't believe that a couple of reviews have mentioned that the book is biased against Republicans. I don't believe any party in mentioned in the book. Is it just that some people are so paranoid that they automatically think the "bad" politicians are suppose to be Republicans? (because that's unfortunately the way things are now!!!!)
