Description
Heralded for masterfully intermingling science, history, and politics in his critically acclaimed thrillers The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, New York Times bestselling author Dan Brown has crafted another pulse-pounding novel in which nothing is as it seems -- and behind every corner is a stunning surprise.
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.

5By JCW42Excellent, fast paced novel. Very typical Dan Brown. I thought it got a little bit drawn out in the end. Overall, great book.Deception Point delivers!
4By Pass the popcornQuite the pulse-pounder (sometimes almost to the point of “The Perils of Pauline”) with precisely drawn characters, a tight script from beginning to end, and lots of thoughtful science, well-woven into the mix and essential to the plot.Another Brown great story

5By lyonsgeistDan Brown is a masterful author. This book had me staying up most the night, ignoring things that needed to be done, anticipating the moment I could jump back in to the story. How many twists and turns he took me on, I felt like I was on a roller coaster. Bring on more stories!Fast paced

5By JoyceAnnSI truly loved this book! I really couldn’t put it down. It was very well written & I loved the characters as well, but perhaps not all of them! Great read, thanks so very much! Joyce StevensI plowed through it
2By Maureen.Anastasia I was embarrassed that I had to keep on reading it, because the writing is so uninteresting and flat. At first the plot twists were intriguing, but after a while, there were just too many. The author showed off some facts from the various sciences involved but it all became too unbelievable. And the romantic sub plot was really absolutely terrible. I did finish it, because I wanted to see the ending, not because I cared about any of the characters, but was curious as to how the author would tie up what seemed like 13 dangling subplots.
