My first read of his work was The Da Vinci Code and from that point there was no stopping of reading his works. This book has the same breath-taking suspense that does not let readers put down the book until the mystery is solved. Aside from the fact that he is her boss, Rachel has another connection to the President: her father, Senator Sedgewick Sexton, is a presidential candidate running against the unpopular President Herney.

Publishers' Weekly wrote that "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. Susan Fletcher (Digital Fortress) is, like Rachel Sexton (Deception Point) a professional woman, pretty, the best in her field, similarly in over her head and somehow coming out okay.It also comes at a time of presidential election and with the current President and his challenger Senator Sexton having different stances as to what to do with NASA. But before they can alert the relevant authorities, a mysterious team of assassins follow their trails with a fierce determination to kill.

In this work, Dan Brown made the book more interesting because he kept a light on a different direction.

The events take place thereafter unfolds a thrilling story line and concludes with some shocking revelations. With the White House in the balance, the President dispatches White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton and a team of experts to the Milne Ice Shelf to confirm the authenticity of the find. It's about NASA's discovery of a meteorite in the Arctic ice which seems to contain evidence of extraterrestrial life.The characters are well written and believable and, in this book, Brown has written another very strong female lead character as he also did in Digital Fortress. CERN Institute, Switzerland: a world-renowned scientist is found brutally murdered with a mysterious symbol seared onto his chest. The writing style of Dan Brown is fantastic and I enjoyed the whole experience of reading the book, even more since in some novels you have a very good main plot but some dull secondary plot and/or scenes that you feel "dragged" when you have to read those chapters, but in my personal experience with the novel, I enjoyed to read the whole book with all its plots. With the Oval Office in the balance, the President dispatches White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Milne Ice Shelf to verify the authenticity of the find. Delta Force members are handpicked from CAG (Combat Applications Group) – a classified organization within Special Operations Command in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Dan Brown is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy, where he has taught English and Creative Writing. With the Oval Office in the balance, the President dispatches White House intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Milne Ice Shelf to verify the authenticity of the find. Clearly the senator's classic good looks had not skipped generations, although Rachel Sexton seemed to carry her blessings with a grace and humility her father could learn from.

Suddenly, the helicopter lands and William Pickering emerges, revealing that he is the commander of the Delta Force squad.

Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic academic Michael Tolland, Rachel uncovers the unthinkable ?But before Rachel can contact the President, she and Michael are attacked by a deadly task force…a private team of assassins controlled by a mysterious powerbroker who will stop at nothing to hide the truth. Corky Marlinson: A world-renowned astrophysicist and a staunch proponent of the authenticity of the meteorite, Corky has little knowledge of proper social conduct. Gabrielle Ashe: Senator Sexton's aide and one-time mistress, she relays information about NASA's extravagance to Senator Sexton. I don't know why these two novels didn't get the press that the Robert Langdon novels did, perhaps it's because they deal with the NSA instead of having a religious based theme that stirs up controversy.
