Deception Point by Dan Brown (2006, Paperback, Reprint)

Deception Point is a book that was written by Dan Brown. This book was released in softcover in 2001 by Pocket Books.

This was the third book by Dan Brown that I read. I am a big space fan and I was really excited that this book revolved around NASA finding a meteor that had fallen in the high arctic.

Intelligence Analyst Rachel Sexton is in her mid-thirties, is single, and works for the NRO (National Reconnaissance Office). Her father, Senator Sedgewick Sexton, is a popular presidential candidate surpassing the incumbent President of the United States Zachary Herney. The President sends her to the Arctic as part of a team of experts to confirm and authenticate findings made by NASA deep within the Milne Ice Shelf. NASA's new Earth Observation System (EOS,) a collection of satellites constantly monitoring the globe for signs of large-scale change, has found an extremely dense spot in the Milne Ice Shelf. NASA discovers a very dense meteorite. In it are fossils of bugs very similar to--but not the same as--species on earth. NASA claims this as proof of extraterrestrial life. This find is something NASA needs desperately, as the agency’s success rate on other fronts has put it in a bad light. Senator Sexton uses this as an example of government overspending and failure to further his campaign.

This is a great book. Gripping and exciting. I was on the edge of my seat until the very end.

Speaking of the end there is a code that can be broken that Dan Brown slipped in. :) Have fun trying to break it!
