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)

great story but every chapter features 5 seconds of ear grating mouth noises that sound like the orator is eating mac and cheese.

Unnecessary Drama

Too much drama in the end. Unnecessary page filling words. Sort of ruins the end.

Wonderful Story

We were on the edge of our seats so many times as we listened to this remarkable story. There were so many twists and surprises, we found ourselves mesmerized. This should be made into a movie.

Dated, dated, dated

Not his usual standards but I’m reading it in a different context than what he was exposed to then.

A Riveting Tail.

Am immersive tail into the dangers of the Actic tundra, Washington DC, and the great ocean deep. The journey between them was riveting.
