  NASA has discovered a meteorite in an Arctic glacier which has fossils -- of extraterrestrial life forms! Thats the premise of the book Deception Point. This is Dan Brown's third book. The protagonists in the story are Rachel, an intelligence expert for the NRO and Tolland, an oceanographer. There is also Rachel's dad, a Presidential candidate who is hellbent on winning the Presidency by bringing to light the recent inefficiencies and failures of NASA. Rachel is requested to visit the Arctic to confirm the details about the meteorite. Could such extraterrestrial lifeforms have formed the origin of life on Earth? What Rachel discovers there casts a big doubt on all this.

  The book is a good read. Much better than Brown's Digital Fortress. Much like his other books I've read, though the story is quite lame, he keeps throwing interesting tidbits that keeps me engaged.

  Typical Dan Brown.
  Annoying narrative inconsistencies in a frame of perfectly researched details, obvious "surprises", cheesy cliffhangers at the end of each very short chapter, monodimensional characters.
  Still, the story holds up decently and the reader wants to find out how it ends.

  Upon the recommendation from a friend, I picked up Deception Point. We both felt that this is Dan Brown's best. What distinguishes Deception Point from the other Dan Brown's novels is some very vivid characterization: egotistic Washington politician, power-hungry government official, sexy and aggressive politcal aide, nerdy scientists, ... Each of these characters contributed to a masterful ploy in accordance with their personalities and culminated into a typical Dan Brown thriller.
