From the author of the riveting bestseller ‘The Da Vinci Code’. Deception Point is Dan Brown's third book, first published in 2001.
Deception point is a pulse-pounding fiction at its best and is a book of sheer brilliance. Brown’s book is well-researched making arcane scientific premises comprehensible; he also writes realistic dialogues that compel the reader to enliven the characters. Brown's characters in his novel are mostly slack-jawed scientists, shrewd, scheming politicians, and a couple of truly honest, righteous souls one can really trust.
Brown's pacing is certifiably breathtaking. The story jumps in short spurts and transports the reader from the ultra-secret National Reconnaissance Office to the towering ice shelves of the Arctic Circle, and back again to the hallways of power inside the West Wing, as one reads on to find out what happens next only find that while doing so, more dangling threads have been woven, more twists inserted thus letting the reader watch hell break loose.
When a new NASA satellite discovers an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory, that has profound implications for U.S. space policy and the impending presidential election.
Johnson’s writing style is conversational and illustrative.
Who Moved My Cheese? is highly recommended book to management professionals but we could all do with this read, for one it is only a mere of ninety- six pages so it wont take much time and the lesson learnt at the end is worth remembering.
