A shocking scientific discovery. A conspiracy of staggering brilliance. A thriller unlike any you've ever read....

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 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.

Received from freelunch - many thanks!! I've only read The Da Vinci Code so far (and I did enjoy it), but my husband has read and enjoyed a few others by Dan Brown so this is really for both of us. It's going on to the TBR mountain.

I finished reading this on 22/11/2022. I find Brown's writing style a bit annoying, but on the whole enjoyed the book.

Happy reading!

Caught today at Melbourne Central Little Library. A Dan Brown I haven't read, terrific...

Not too bad with NASA bursting into prominence but gradually fading with the Presidents adversary for the upcoming elections performing brilliantly ( also a bit off, even mentioning coffee 5 times in a couple of pages). Just an OK read.
