Summary:

Rachel Sexton works for the National Reconnaissance Office as a “gister.” Her job is to take complex information from multiple sources and reduce it to one-page briefings for the White House. One day, Rachel is called away from her job by the President, Zach Herney, who sends her to the Milne Ice Shelf in the Arctic Circle, where NASA has found a meteorite containing fossil evidence of extraterrestrial life. There, she meets Michael Tolland, an oceanographer and documentary host, who has been hired as part of a team of civilian scientists to verify the discovery.

Rachel and the scientists find discrepancies in the evidence, and begin to question the authenticity of the meteorite. As they investigate, they are attacked by a team of assassins and barely escape with their lives. They continue to search for answers, and uncover a monumental deception with roots in the White House, and the U.S. Intelligence Community. Besides staying one jump ahead of the assassins, Rachel and her team must determine who they can and cannot trust in Washington D.C.

My Thoughts:

Dan Brown tells his stories at an extremely fast pace, and keeps his characters in almost constant peril. As a result, his stories are extremely hard to put down. Deception Point is no exception. I don’t recall anything I didn’t like about this book.

Potentially Offensive Content:

Profanity, violence, mild innuendo and sexual content.
