Deception Point by Dan Brown

Rating: 4.5

Deception Point is a fast paced thriller that I had a hard time putting down. It's one of those books that I just had to know what was going on. It kept me reading long into the night.

NASA discovers the find of the century buried in an ice shelf in the Arctic Circle. When the President of the United States sends a team of four civilian scientists up there to corroborate the find, they discover something not quite right. Soon, these civilian scientists are running for their lives while trying to discover the truth. The stakes are high in Deception Point, with the office of the Presidency and the future of NASA on the line. Intrigue and lies abound in this novel which kept me guessing to the very end.

The only thing that kind of annoyed me about this book is a couple of the supporting characters. They were over-written and just didn't seem right. They are a couple of the world's leading scientists but bickered and teased like school children. Other than that small annoyance, the book is great.
