Riassunto

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. With the Oval Office in the balance, the President dispatches White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Arctic to verify the authenticity of the find. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic academic Michael Tolland, Rachel uncovers the unthinkable — evidence of scientific trickery — a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy...

Su questo libro

Recensione:

The Washington Post A case study in how to manufacture suspense. Unputdownable.

The New York Daily News Thriller scribe Dan Brown handles the intrigue and action well, weaving together malevolent forces from the aerospace industry, the military and Washington's legislative demimonde. His research is impeccable, and all the amazing gadgetry the characters use is certified real-life hardware.

Publishers Weekly 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. A finely polished amalgam of action and intrigue. Brown has done his research, folding in sophisticated scientific and military details that make his plot far more fulfilling than the norm.
