Carrie's Review: Deception Point by Dan Brown

After a NASA satellite discovers a rare meteorite buried far down in the Arctic Ice, the White House calls upon Rachel Sexton, a intelligence analyst who works for the NRO, the National Reconnaissance Office. The President knows that this discovery will not only save NASA's falling reputation but will guarantee his victory in the upcoming election. Rachel Sexton travels to the Arctic where she teams up with the charming Michael Toland and a number of other scientific experts. This is where they uncover a mind blowing conspiracy which indicates the meteorite, which contains bug-like specimen, to have not come from Outer Space, but which was instead inserted from underneath the ice shelf. Before the scientists can learn more about this treachery, a highly skilled team of assassins that branch off of the U.S. Army attacks their camp and kills most of the scientists. Michael Toland and Rachel Sexton barely escape and now must find a way to survive the harsh environment of the Northern Arctic. However, the only way to truly save not only themselves but the entire Nation as well is to uncover the greatest deception of them all. This is an action-packed and fast paced read, full of intense plot twist sand shocking surprises it will have readers begging for more.
