(2001)Another so-so thriller that does have a good story but strains credibility the closer to the end it got. NASA discovers a meteorite under Artic ice but a White House aide discovers that it has been faked. A security agency is trying to keep the secret and winds up killing about half dozen people to do it. Coincidences just pile up to the point of making the book laughable at the end. Hack stuff by a hack.

One of my favorites. I'd never actually read a 'thriller' before, and this kinda spoiled me for most of the ones I've tried to read since. ( )

I have officially read every Dan Brown book and I am begging for more. I did not find Deception Point as good as Dan Brown's other novels, but it was still an instant classic that kept me on my toes.

This novel was more of a political thriller, since it follows a secret NASA and the American Government have been hiding from the public. It was a well thought out plot with great character development, but I wanted more out of the novel. I wanted a little more suspense and thrills in this novel similar to Digital Fortress.

This novel had nothing wrong with it other than me being selfish and wanting more action and thrills. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a quick read with thrills and unexpected plot twists. A great novel!

I also want a sequel to this novel, since I want to see all the backlash that happens after the secret is discovered, and the continued building of relationships between some of the main characters. But alas, I doubt we will get one anytime soon from Dan Brown. I will hope though. There is a lot of potential for the characters in this book for further novels, and potentially discovering other secrets different Governments or agencies have hidden away from the public.

Four out of five stars, since I wanted more action and thrills. ( )

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.

If this discovery is confirmed, it will surely be one of the most stunning insights into our universe that science has ever uncovered. Its implications are as far-reaching and awe-inspiring as can be imagined. Even as it promises answers to some of out oldest questions, it poses still others even more fundamental.
-President Bill Clinton, in a press conference following a discovery known as ALH84001 on August 7, 1996

Als deze ontdekking juist blijkt te zijn, vormt die ongetwijfeld een van de belangrijkste bijdragen aan onze kennis van het heelal die de wetenschap ooit heeft geleverd. De consequenties zijn ontzagwekkend en verreikend. En terwijl enkele van onze oudste vragen nu lijken te worden beantwoord, worden er ook nieuwe, nog fundamentelere opgeworpen.

"Deception Point" was sold as Meteor in Germany. They should remain combined. Thank you.

Descripció del llibre
Acompanyada del carismàtic acadèmic Michael Tolland, Rachel s'adona que aquesta descoberta els posarà en perill de mort. En la fugida per salvar la vida en un entorn tan desolat com letal, la seva única esperança és descobrir qui hi ha darrere la trama. Però comprendran que la veritat és el frau més vergonyós de tots.
"Brown torna a demostrar que és un dels escriptors de suspens més intel·ligents i dinàmics del gènere. En aquest llibre, ha sabut barrejar amb destresa l'enginy i l'estil que li són propis amb l'aventura trepidant de Cussler i la tecnologia moderna de Clancy. Molt recomanable." Library Journal.
