Publisher's summary

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.

Critic reviews

"Brown moves into new territory with his latest. It's an excellent thriller: a big yet believable story unfolding at breakneck pace, with convincing settings and just the right blend of likable and hateful characters. He's also done his research, folding in sophisticated scientific and military details that make his plot far more fulfilling than the norm." (Publishers Weekly)
"A dazzling high-tech adventure...Brown proves once again that he is among the most intelligent and dynamic of authors in the thriller genre." (Library Journal)
"This is pretty exciting stuff...and Brown certainly does have a knack for spinning a suspenseful yarn." (Booklist)

A library book

Dont listen to anyone who says this is Dan Browns best work. They are probably on the payroll. Although it's entertaining, it can be quit predictable especially at the end. The "heroes" repeatedly managed to escape from no way out situations. I found myself not being drawn into the drama sometimes because you know everyone is coming out alive. The phrase " with his/her last ounce of strength" was used way to often. Take my advice and use your library card on this instead of your debit card.

If you could sum up Deception Point in three words, what would they be?

Insanely great

Any additional comments?

The author and the reader should have built for each other. Brillant story and great narration.

Good story not so good performance

I was totally distracted by the narrators oral sound between his statements. It sounded as though he had a mouthful of saliva. As I said, very distracting!

Awesome!

Loved it! Had twists and turns I wasn't expecting... I totally recommend, try this one!

Loved the ride!!!

This book had me hooked from page one! I couldn’t put it down... even waking up at night for a listen. My only criticism was with the narrator... you could hear him swallowing and it was distracting. I listen to a lot of books and haven’t noticed this before. Don’t let that keep you from this great book!

Good but...

The audible swallowing by the reader should have been edited out!
Story is good but not great.
