Deception Point - Penguin Books UK

This was read at the tail-end of my brief Dan Brown phase (let he who has never enjoyed an airport-bookstore novel cast the first stone), and by this point I was getting a little tired of Brown's storytelling formula. And by "formula", I really mean "formula". Here it is: The American President, wary of another potential NASA error, dispatches Rachel Sexton to the Arctic to investigate the evidence first hand. Sexton is a trusted Intelligence Analyst, as well as the daughter of his biggest political rival, and her confirmation of the finding will be received as an objective assessment. Brown is among the most intelligent and dynamic of authors in the thriller genre. In this dazzling high-tech adventure, he has skillfully blended his own wit and style with the rip-roaring adventure of Cussler and the modern technology of Clancy. Highly recommended. Is it just me or does this read like Dan Brown was typing this with one hand? Why does Mr. Stud have the same initials as the author? Why would anyone want a sharp green wit? And is 'fruit shake' some sort of code for a handy? Is that why he is still dripping? This is the first book written by Dan Brown and, although it is good, it does not have the same hook as the following ones.Brown's techno thriller that explores the relationship between the masses and the agencies and corporations that amass and store data on us as individuals - and it's impact on civil liberties. Producing the film, God, Science, and Our Search for Meaning, has been an exciting and incredibly meaningful experience for many of us on the team at the Charles Hayden Planetarium. It gives audiences an opportunity to reflect on the natural awe and wonder of looking up at the cosmos, just as so many before us have done”, said Dani LeBlanc, director of immersive theaters at the Museum of Science. “I’m hopeful that the themes and questions we touch upon on in this film will resonate with audiences the world over.” When a new NASA satellite detects evidence of an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory...a victory that has profound implications for U.S. space policy and the impending presidential election.

Said Goldsman, “I’m so excited to join up with my old friend Dan Brown and my older friend Mike Deluca and company to bring this marvelous book of Dan’s to the screen.” 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. When a NASA satellite spots evidence of an astoundingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory—one that could have profound implications for US space policy and the impending presidential election. With his re-election hanging in the balance, the President sends White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Milne Ice Shelf to verify the authenticity of the find. This book, like the others, reads too much like a Hollywood script for me (in fact I can totally see this being made into a movie). It's not necessarily a bad thing I guess, just not to my personal taste. Also, if you've read other books by him you'll know what to expect: a male and a female protagonist, a mystery, lots of conspiracy theories, dangerous situations to survive miraculously from, and a twist at the end. This time though, we are not dealing with religious sects but with the NASA, the CIA and the government. The Guardian says that although Brown’s vocabulary in the novel is somewhat limited, this should not detract from the thrill of the read.President Herney sends a team of experts to the Arctic to verify the authenticity of the extraterrestrial insect: oceanographer Michael Tolland, astrophysicist Corky Marlinson, glaciologist Norah Mangor, paleontologist Wailee Ming, and National Reconnaissance Office employee Rachel Sexton, Senator Sexton's daughter. Authentication team: During the story, NASA invites five external experts to help authenticate the meteorite finding as secondary sources: It is the answer to this question that is one of the weaknesses of the novel, because whichever way the conspiracy runs, there are no winners. The story does not deliver the satisfaction of seeing the good guys win and the world surviving to be a better place. Instead the fallout will be considerable. This alone would not necessarily make Deception Point a bad novel if the way the plot unravels is a part of the authors attempt to tell us something about corruption, mass deception, political machinations, accountability, integrity versus the greater good, the public versus private selves, etc. But it is not that kind of novel. Like any trashy pop-fiction, Deception Point is mostly about the plot. Powerful, arresting themes are non-existent and the characters are barely outlines; neither interesting, or relatable, and sometimes even cliché. Again, this is not necessarily a bad thing for this type of novel, but without a satisfactory outcome it leaves little to enjoy. As a stand-alone Dan Brown book this one was interesting and did hold its own against Robert Langdon and his never ending series. 3.5 stars rounded down.

The topic is quite interesting & having an author perfectly fit the shoes of one so revered (talking, of course about the late great Michael Crichton) is truly magnificent, in my book. This thriller is fast (hooray!) & riveting. It is relevant to modern times & some reviewers have gone as far as calling it plausible. This is a novel that takes you to a true world. It is realistic, but it speaks of depth, especially in the American society. It is the politics and the problems that are caused by it, the disintegration within the society and the conflicts, of course, to reach the summit, whether in a good or bad way.
