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 they really need to fix the audio

The story was great, the performance was good the audio quality is awful. please get a filter on this so you don't hear the mouth noises and swallowing constantly. This is an easy fix even with the free software that came with the cheap audio mixer on my laptop

There’s nothing not to like in this book!

This was very well written, no dull parts in the whole book. The audio was done very well, a little breathy once in a while but heck the guy has to breathe right? I totally would recommend this audiobook, action packed yes a little out of the times because of when it was written but really not noticeable except for when they talk about pagers LOL but who cares. I don’t understand any of the bad reviews on this book there is nothing not to like!

Riveting

On the edge of my seat most of the time. As usual Dan Brown does not disappoint. The narrarating was also on point.

Distracted by all the ASMR-like mucus smacking.

Distracted from the story by the narrator's ASMR-like mucus smacking. Still trying to finish the story and will update my rating and review once I do.

Love the story, not the narrator

Tho the story is great and overall the narrator did a good job telling it, there is way too much mouth noise. It may not bother some but to me and many I’ve asked it’s like nails on a chalkboard.

good story. Not good ASMR

I struggled with the mouth noises of the reader. very unpleasant. the story was good.

Review
